This fix is wrong AFAICT. If an article doesn't contain a C-T-E
header then I get the following from running the archiver


list@casablanca:/var/lib/mailman$ bin/arch  mailman-test-list-a
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "bin/arch", line 129, in ?
    main()
  File "bin/arch", line 118, in main
    archiver.processUnixMailbox(fp, Article)
  File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/pipermail.py", line 521, in processUnixMailbox
    a = articleClass(m, self.sequence)
  File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/HyperArch.py", line 224, in __init__
    self.cenc = string.lower(cenc)
TypeError: read-only character buffer, None


I just started learning Python, so I'll leave the (trivial) fix to
you, Barry. Just wanted to let you know before you release this :-)
