[Bug 949924] [NEW] UnicodeDecodeError when delivering message

[Antti Kaihola]

Public bug reported:

I did a fresh install of Mailman 3.0.0a8 on a Debian Squeeze box,
created a list, subscribed a few people and sent a message to the list.
The message didn't come through, and var/logs/mailman.log has:

Mar 08 13:21:08 2012 (23645) Uncaught runner exception: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe4 in position 20: ordinal not in range(128)

  File "/home/mailman/lib/python2.6/site-packages/mailman/rules/approved.py", line 81, in check
    if ':' in line:

The message did contain an u'\xe4' in both the subject and the body. I
sent the message using Thunderbird 10.0.2 on Linux Mint 12.
