Hi,

Anybody know how to do manual surgery to delete a malformed user?

I'm running MM 2.1.5, I have a list with 1700 members.  Somehow, one of 
the email addresses got corrupted with what looks like some control 
character at the end of the address.

When I look at the address in mailman web admin, it the url for the user 
is  end with rona.cole--at--lausd.net%0D

This link goes the user, but any attempt to delete the user give a 
unknown user error.

When I do a 'find_member' on the address rona.cole at lausd.net:

found in:@lausd.net
     cal_prev

Note that the 'rona.cole' part is not displayed in the results.

When I try 'remove_members'

I get member not found.

[/usr/local/mailman/bin]
root at xxx->./remove_members cal_prev rona.cole at lausd.net
No such member: rona.cole at lausd.net

[/usr/local/mailman/bin]
root at xxx->./remove_members cal_prev rona.cole at lausd.net%0D
No such member: rona.cole at lausd.net%0D

Thanks for any help!

Regards,
John Dell
