[Mailman-Developers] Error when processing Chinese emails

[Patrick Lam]

Dear Experts,

 

            When one of my user sent Chinese emails (both contents and
subject), my Mailman v2.1.4 give the following errors:

    s = s.encode(outcodec, errors)

            Which file I should modify to fix that problem??

 

            Thank you very much for your kind help and attention!
