[Mailman-Users] problems with using Chinese(gb2312) under mailman 2.1.1

[Isaac Claymore]

Hi folks, I've being running several lists under mailman 2.0.12 for
over a year, and never met any problem with Chinese(gb2312) characters
in any part of lists emails.

Recently mailman 2.1.1 was released with better multilingual support,
so I decided to test it on a fresh box without any previous mailman
setting.

Very soon I came across two problems with a newly created test list:

1. according to README-I18N.en which came with the sources, Simplified
Chinese(i.e. gb2312) is supported OUT-OF-THE BOX. In the web interface:
mailman/admin/test/language --> "Languages supported by this list", I
found 17 options, but neither Simplified Chinese nor Traditional
Chinese was among them;
2. Whenever emails with gb2312 characters in their subjects are sent
to the test list:

Feb 13 15:08:21 2003 (9216) Uncaught runner exception: unknown
encoding
Feb 13 15:08:21 2003 (9216) Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/local/mailman/pythonlib/email/Header.py", line 243, in
  append
    s = s.encode(outcodec)
LookupError: unknown encoding

But we don't have any problem with this under mailman 2.0.12...

My mm_cfg.py is:

DEFAULT_CHARSET = 'gb2312'
VERBATIM_ENCODING = ['gb2312', 'iso-2022-jp']

Did I miss anything?

Any hint or help is greatly appreciated ;)
