It doesn't seem to me to be 2.3/2.4 compatibility. It doesn't work for
me with 2.4.1 and it didn't work for the poor soul who reported on
mailman-users that he tried building from source for the first time
and used the SVN trunk, and he has 2.3.5. There's no indication of an
encoding argument in either <http://docs.python.org/lib/node347.html>
or <http://docs.python.org/dev/lib/node391.html>
