:Well, the first checkbox is the subscr checkbox, which you say

	Yes, the first checkbox is present, but unchecked.


:Are you saying you tried that and it failed?  Here, in a test
:list I haven't gotten around to deleting (yet), I was able to
:add the above faulty address.  It showed up without the
:' "luis' and I was able to delete it fine by unchecking subscr
:for the member and submitting changes.  Perhaps I didn't make
:the same error.

	Sorry, what i meant was that what the membership page
shows is:
basanez at ioc.upc.es "luis
not that this was the string the admin entered, because the
actual string introduced by the admin was:
basanez at ioc.upc.es "luis basañez"

	Notice the "ñ" char in the string introduced... The ascii
code of the "ñ" is decimal 241.

	I have been able to reproduce the error so i have now two
lists with this problem...

	Thanks for your help.

	Omar.
 
:Perhaps Mailman 2.0 deals with the bad address better (I've
:never run 1.1).
