See the thread at
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2007-April/056531.html>.
This is a bug in Python's email library version 4.0.1, but the problem
in your case, is your Mailman package does not contain the email
library in Mailman's pythonlib/ directory.

There should be an email 2.5.x (depending on Mailman version) library
in Mailman's pythonlib/. This is a packaging issue.
