Thanks again, Mark, this is all *very* appreciated.

I'm interested in how many of these addresses are u'...', and how they got to be that way.


Of the 1639 e-mail addresses, 349 are u'...' I don't have any great ideas about what might be out of the ordinary about my installation. I've never made any mods to the Mailman scripts. I *have* used custom html templates (charset=utf-8), but I don't think that this would affect the character encoding on the server side, would it? If you'd like to take a look:
<http://mailman.globalmoxie.com/mailman/listinfo/moxiemail>

However, the majority of subscriptions come via a script that I set up to send subscribe commands via email to the list. It accepts an email address in a web form and sends it along as a subscribe command to moxiemail-requests. Here's a sample (with domains changed to example.com):

------

I'm happy to do any tests or troubleshooting that might be helpful to get at the root problem.

The attached patch to Decorate.py (applied after removing the other one) will work around the problem.

Excellent, thanks! A quick question before I try it: I've now tried to send this message a few times; is it possible that these attempts were successfully mailed to some portion of the list (e.g., some of the non- unicode addresses)? If it's an indicator, the last address that showed up with the "bin/withlist" commands that you suggested was also the same address that showed up in the message footer for the debug patch that you originally sent (and, I presume, the address that caused the error).

(If it's likely that some significant number of people have gotten several copies of the message, I just want to add an apology for the repeats before mailing it again. Either way, I'll give the patch a spin in the next 24 hours.)

Thanks again for all of the speedy, detailed help with this.

All best,
Josh
