This is what we were unable to solve in the original thread starting at <https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2019-March/084241.html> for 10 posts and then continuing at <https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2019-March/084266.html> for another 13 posts. When the OP put in the logging suggested at <https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2019-March/084273.html>, we discovered that in this Mailman/Archiver/pipermail.py at least, string .lowercase returns the iso-8859-1 encoding of 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzµßàáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöøùúûüýþÿ' (see <https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2019-March/084280.html>), but we were never able to determine where this came from. If you are curious, you could modify your current /var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/pipermail.py which i think will contain lowercase = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' at line 13. If you add following that, the two lines import string syslog('error', 'string: %r', string) You should then see (after at least one post) messages in Mailman's error log like <timestamp> string: <module 'string' from ... where ... is the location of the Python string module. This will probable be a .pyc file, but you can look in the corresponding .py file for the definition of lowercase. in my /usr/lib/python2.7/string.py, it is lowercase = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' There is also ascii_lowercase = lowercase I'm curious as to what these are in yours. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
