Well, the first checkbox is the subscr checkbox, which you say is
present...uncheck that and submit changes and the subscriber *may* be
removed.  On the other hand, the spaces and quote may prevent it.  Or
Mailman 1.1 may not work that way.

Are you saying you tried that and it failed?  Here, in a test list I
haven't gotten around to deleting (yet), I was able to add the above faulty
address.  It showed up without the
' "luis' and I was able to delete it fine by unchecking subscr for the
member and submitting changes.  Perhaps I didn't make the same error.
Perhaps Mailman 2.0 deals with the bad address better (I've never run 1.1).
