There is a potentially serious archiving problem in 2.1.7 involving a UnicodeError when obscuring email addresses in the body of posts destined for the .txt file.
The problem is reported at <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1395683&group_id=103&atid=100103> and was also reported by a different user on the mailman-users list at <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2006-January/048413.html>. I observed one manifestation of this myself and mentioned it to Tokio and Barry, but I didn't have time to follow up before going away last week. The problem can abort a bin/arch run and can also result in a list post not being archived (it will be shunted in this case). I have worked up a patch which avoids the problem in all the cases I have seen. (My original patch simply ignored the UnicodeError which allowed unobscured email addresses in the .txt file for the problem messages - my current patch avoids the UnicodeError so addresses are properly obscured). The patch is attached to the above tracker item. The purpose of this post is twofold. First, I would like independent review of the patch, as I still don't fully understand the reason for the error in all cases and the i18n implications. Second, other than committing the patch to CVS, is there a mechanism for making it more widely visible. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
