There are obviously e-mails with non-standard encodings (who wants to join me hating pine?) See attached backtrace. A local patch of - return unicode(newvalue[2], newvalue[0] or 'us-ascii') + try: + return unicode(newvalue[2], newvalue[0] or 'us-ascii') + except LookupError: + return unicode(newvalue[2], 'us-ascii', 'replace') solved the problem here.
Logged In: YES user_id=768522 Barry, sorry but it is 6 month since the report. The mail causing the problem is long lost. You could try contacting Gregor Maier who commented on mailman bug 803729 recently. He is at http://sourceforge.net/users/maiergre/
