Summary: canonstr -> unicode usernames

Initial Comment:
Cgi.subscribe.process_form gets a unicode value for fullname, 
from Utils.canonstr() (return unicode(newstr, charset, 
'replace')

This came to my attention because it broke OwnerNotification 
when the email Message couldn't "flatten" itself with the 
unicode payload.  Suspect that's only the beginning of the 
trouble that will be caused, so I'm hoping we really don't 
want unicode usernames values as a rule.  I fixed it in 
subscribe.py with fullname = fullname.encode('iso8859-1'), but 
note that canonstr is used elsewhere like this.

I think this bug has been fixed in 2.1.1 or 2.1.2 (cvs).

If your users choose to input latin-1 charcters in fullname,
it will be better to set iso-8859-1as english charset.

in mm_cfg.py,

def _(s):
    return s
LC_DESCRIPTIONS['en'] = (_('English (USA)'), 'iso-8859-1')
del _

I stumbled over the same bug, but in my case it was bailing
only in the confirm.py script.
