[Mailman-Users] Unicode problems with admindb

[Mike Alberghini]

I'm having some trouble with 2.1.4.  When I try to go to the list admindb
page, I get a "UnicodeError: ASCII encoding error: ordinal not in range(128)"

I tried deleteing everything for the list in ~mailman/data, with no luck.

The details:

We are running Mailman 2.1.4 on Solaris 8.

http://mailbox.gsu.edu/mailman/admindb/asia-l produces:

Bug in Mailman version 2.1.4

We're sorry, we hit a bug!
