[Mailman-Users] Getting python errors with bin/arch

[Rob Tanner]

Hi,

I am trying to rebuild archives -- actually porting archives over from 
another machine and then doing a rebuild, but the problem below shows up 
inb all the archives.

I run the command "bin/arch small_centers" and get the following error:

#00000 <9c4d764c0802060656j1828bf41sbb8176d146fcbd9f at mail.gmail.com>

fixAuthor
    while i>0 and (L[i-1][0] in lowercase or
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xb5 in position 26:

This actually looks like a problem in a specific email message in the 
archive.  How do I identify the mesand how do I fix it?

Thanks,
Rob
