[Mailman-Developers] Message Encoding traceback fault 2.1.x

[Danny Terweij]

Hi,

with version 2.1+ and 2.1.1,  I have some message encoding problems. This
messages are stuck in /qfiles/shunt/

Logfile:
Feb 09 19:34:15 2003 (2229) Uncaught runner exception: unknown encoding
Feb 09 19:34:15 2003 (2229) Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 105, in _oneloop
    self._onefile(msg, msgdata)
  File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Queue/Runner.py", line 155, in _onefile
    keepqueued = self._dispose(mlist, msg, msgdata)
  File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Queue/IncomingRunner.py", line 130, in
_dispose
    more = self._dopipeline(mlist, msg, msgdata, pipeline)
  File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Queue/IncomingRunner.py", line 153, in
_dopipeline
    sys.modules[modname].process(mlist, msg, msgdata)
  File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/CookHeaders.py", line 75, in
process
    prefix_subject(mlist, msg, msgdata)
  File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/CookHeaders.py", line 262, in
prefix_subject
    h.append(s, c)
  File "/usr/local/mailman/pythonlib/email/Header.py", line 243, in append
    s = s.encode(outcodec)
LookupError: unknown encoding

And this are only from a few users and always the same users! Other users
doing fine..
The message is just a normal message from outlook express in HTML format
(stationery's)..

I dont get it why it goes in a shunt dir.
After unshunting the message goes away with a subject line "NONE"

So there is something changed between 2.1 and 2.1+ .

Please change it back :)
