Hi,
Can you test attached patch in your system? My system accepts non-ascii
characters in logging and does not reproduce your error.

I asked the Mailman-Users list this question last week, but got no
useful replies. Since this is a bug in the code, someone here might
know how to proceed.
I might add to the original question: Would it help to go to the very
latest Mailman release?
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I'd like some help on dealing with this problem permanently. I've been
getting this behavior every couple of months and haven't found a good
solution yet.
The way it happens is that I'm on the "Administrative requests" page for
some mailing list and when I submit the deletion requests I get the
following reply from the browser:
Bug in Mailman version 2.1.6
We're sorry, we hit a bug!
Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem. Printing of
traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited,
but the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs.
Usually you can then go back an delete individual entries, but there
will be one or more that produce the error, with this sort of traceback
(below):
I take it that the email in question (SPAM email) isn't properly
encoded. Any idea on how to get around this problem? In the past I've
gone into the queues and deleted files, etc, but the process isn't easy,
and of course I won't get any cooperation from the SPAMers sending the
messages.
The OS is FreeBSD 4.9 and Mailman is 2.1.6_1, built from source.
