[Mailman-Users] Uncaught runner exception: unknown encoding: gb2312

[Reinhard Proessler]

Hello 

Some users reports that emails from a Chinese customer 
do not reach the recipients from a list. The mails reach
our system, where stored in the archive folder, but not
forwarded to the list member.

I took a look to the mailman error log and found (only) this entry:

It seems to be that the reason is an unknown encoding: gb2312

I searched in the Internet and mailing-lists and found only a hint to
install
Chinesecodecs. But after applying these ChineseCodecs-1.1.0p to 
python site-packages with python installer the problem still exists.

Any suggestions, experiences or hints with this problem?

Kind Regards
