xfce i18n mailinglist

[Auke Kok]

As of now, I've spent 4 hours trying to figure out what the rpoblem is 
with the xfce-i18n mailinglist, and I'm not a single step further. This 
issue is too complex for me to solve so most likely the mailinglist will 
remain unreachable for the coming week.

If anyone knows the home address of a WILLING mailman/python developer 
that understands something about the following python trace and knows a 
fix, then please have him/her contact me:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/var/mailman/cron/senddigests", line 94, in ?
     main()
   File "/var/mailman/cron/senddigests", line 86, in main
     mlist.send_digest_now()
   File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Digester.py", line 60, in send_digest_now
     ToDigest.send_digests(self, mboxfp)
   File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/ToDigest.py", line 133, in 
send_digests
     send_i18n_digests(mlist, mboxfp)
   File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/ToDigest.py", line 331, in 
send_i18n_digests
     payload = unicode(payload, mcset, 'replace'
UnicodeError: ISO-2022-JP decoding error: invalid designation


an strace reveals nothing more except python mudding about libs:

and then it bombs...
