Summary: special characters in realnames

Initial Comment:
Mailman crashs when realnames of members include 
special language-specifc characters like german 
"Umlaute" (äöüß). 
 
Traceback (most recent call last): 
  File "/usr/lib/mailman/bin/list_members", line 232, in ? 
    main() 
  File "/usr/lib/mailman/bin/list_members", line 207, in 
main 
    s = formataddr((name, addr)).encode(enc, 'replace') 
UnicodeError: ASCII decoding error: ordinal not in 
range(128) 
 
It isn`t possible to get a list of all members of this list with 
list_members or a who command. 
 
Mailman has to be able to handle other signs then A-Z 
and 0-9 in realnames and mailaddresses.

I think that the bug is on python itself, because is suppossed that 
encode(enc, 'replace')  show no errors at all according to 
http://www.reportlab.com/i18n/python_unicode_tutorial.html

 
But is the middle i remove from the code and works ok.
 .encode(enc, 
'replace')
