[Mailman-Developers] error with bad email with % in addErrorin htmlformat.py

[Tokio Kikuchi]

Hi,

>>        if tag is None:
>>            tag = _('Error: ')
>>        if args is not ():
>>           self.AddItem(Header(3, Bold(FontAttr(
>>               _(tag), color=mm_cfg.WEB_ERROR_COLOR,
>>size='+2')).Format() +
>>                            Italic(errmsg % args ).Format()))
>>        else:
>>                self.AddItem(Header(3, Bold(FontAttr(
>>                        _(tag), color=mm_cfg.WEB_ERROR_COLOR,
>>size='+2')).Format() +
>>                            Italic(errmsg).Format()))

This fix is right direction. I confirmed 'args' is no longer used by 
find-and-grepping the source files and removed  '% args' finally. The 
variable insert is now done by i18n._().

Thank you all for this fix is just in time for 2.1.6 release.
