[Jan-Benedict Glaw]

Package: mailman
Version: 2.1.5-8sarge5

Hi!

I got this in mailman's error log:

Oct 08 10:15:28 2006 (25437) Uncaught runner exception: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x92 in position 23: ordinal not in range(128)

Since I'm not into Python, no patch... Seems whoever tries to recode
something to unicode didn't expect that this could fail.
