Please file a bug report. I am just as frustrated as Kikuchi-san is with the Japanese attitude toward standards, but this behavior of Mailman is a violation of the Postel Principle ("be strict in what you emit, but lax in what you accept"). Mailman functionality should not be disabled by the contents of posts it handles; if it doesn't like them, it should strip them or quarantine them without impeding the flow of other posts. In the short run, you probably should disable digestible for that list. Mailman's I18N is not very robust in this respect, and it may take some time to fix. Tokio, is it possible that you could just default the error policy for codecs as "replace" for charsets that are known to be prone to "vendor extension"? And add an option for the set of "replace-able" charsets to be set by the list admin? ------------------------------------------------------ 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
