At least in earlier implementations of the email lib and Mailman, the original parse of the message was not enclosed in the shunt mechanism, so the exception got caught by the catchall handler, not the shunt handler. As of 2.1.5, the I18N stuff made assumptions that certain things were ASCII, and that it was handling MIME conversions correctly. These assumptions have been regularly violated, and patches have been applied piecemeal, but AFAICS (from a 2.1.5 vs. 2.1.8 diff I did a while back) the fundamental architectural issue was not addressed. It would appear that that still hasn't been done. It's not obvious to me that that's a change that's appropriate for 2.1. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
