I have the same consistent message now with my -i18n development list
when running bin/arch (2.1.6/python-2.4.1):

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 0:
ordinal not in range(128)


This is the second unicode error I found. The other one (in senddigests)
can be fixed by adding a unicodedecodeerror exception as I described in
the patch I submitted
(http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1246003&group_id=103&atid=300103)

Please take a good look ;^)
