[Mailman-Users] Problems with digests

Working under the assumption that this is related to the problem I posted 
I've upgraded python and still get a problem with certain attachments going 
to lists. Exim accepts the message, delivers to mailman and then mailman 
chokes and fails to deliver to list members

Python 2.5c1 (r25c1:51305, Aug 19 2006, 21:01:01)
[GCC 4.1.2 20060814 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-11)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import email
 >>> email.__version__
'4.0.1'
 >>>
<ctrl-D>

# cd MMHOME/cron
# python

What gives? What is odd is that some files with " ' " in the filename go to 
the list while others don't. I've tried changing characterset in mail client 
to no avail.

Apologies if I'm hijacking a thread, it's just I'm seen similar errors when 
trying to post to a list with a PDF attachment ... not directly related to 
senddigests at all (digests disabled)

I still get the following in the error log:
