It's quite unpleasant to recieve this mail daily. In
addition there was a local mailing list to which no mail was
delivered until digests to this list was turned off.

Last day I have upgraded to mailman 2.1.3 and the last lines
of the traceback changed:

File "/usr/local/mailman/pythonlib/email/Message.py", line
714, in get_filename
return unicode(newvalue[2], newvalue[0] or 'us-ascii')
LookupError: unknown encoding: X-UNKNOWN

Hello,

I have the same problem with mailmain-2.1.4 with
python-2.3.3 under linux gentoo. Are there any clues where
the problem lies or any workarounds? Disableing the digest
option works but is not really a solution.
Another interesting fact is, that the only some lists show
this problem and that the prolbem just "occurs" and then it
doesn't go away..

Here's a part of my error log:

As far as I recognised mailman copies Message.py from the
python libraries so I also reported it for python (id 854102).

As a workaround replace the line in question:

return unicode(newvalue[2], newvalue[0] or 'us-ascii')

with

try:
return unicode(newvalue[2], newvalue[0] or 'us-ascii')
except LookupError:
return unicode(newvalue[2], 'us-ascii', 'replace')
