[Mailman-Users] shunting after "decoding Unicode is not supported"

[David Newman]

Mailman 2.1.12

Had a server crash. Built a new server, compiled MM 2.1.12 from source
and restored the lists, data, and archives from a backup.

Messages are going to the list but most aren't getting archived, with
errors like the one pasted below.

This has come up before:

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2007-May/057100.html

I'm wary about screwing up the digests, so two questions:

1. Is there any way of clearing this error without renaming/moving the
digest?

2. If I do move the digest, will the messages that didn't get archived
then make it into the archive? Or will archiving work only for those
messages from that point forward?

Many thanks
