[Mailman-Users] UnicodeError: ASCII decoding error: ordinal not in range(128) in Decorate.py, line 99

[Gerhard Killesreiter]

Hi there!

I get the above mentioned error in my mailman installation. The complete
trackback is:

Dec 31 02:42:28 2004 (23865) Uncaught runner exception: ASCII decoding
error: ordinal not in range(128) Dec 31 02:42:28 2004 (23865) Traceback

    ufooter = unicode(footer, lcset)

UnicodeError: ASCII decoding error: ordinal not in range(128)

The mailman-Install is a rather recent CVS checkout. The code in line 99
is:
        ufooter = unicode(footer, lcset)

There might be an Umlaut in the footer causing this, but then all my lists
have that.
Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,
	Gerhard
