Hello
We have problem with confirm mail when mail body contains
characters out of ascii code (range(128)). Mailman version
is 2.1.5 . I think Mailman could leave the body unread
when Subject contains the confirm code or at least it should
stop to "end" line. If Mailman wants to check through the body
it would be fair not to bug with the non-ascii codes.
People have auto-signatures with different character codes and
they may have automatic copy of the original mail as citation
(quotation). Mailmans request for confirmation contains non-ascii
code if the language code of the list is such.
Excerpt of the error log:

What's especially nasty is that the waiting time for confirmation
stops with this error and the entry disappears from the list.
So it's hard to find out what happened.
I tried to find help from mailman-users archives. Found some
identical cases from years 2003 and 2004 by searching keywords
"ascii ordinal confirm" but no solution to the problem.

characters won't stop you reading this)
