Bug Description

Jitterbug-Id: 203
Submitted-By: <email address hidden>
Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2000 21:10:07 -0500 (EST)
Version: 1.1
OS: Linux (redhat 4.2+)

A User with a strange email address mailed a messeage to our list and I got
a
"crash" in python:
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/home/mailman/scripts/driver", line 112, in run_main
    main()
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admindb.py", line 112, in main
    HandleRequests(doc)
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admindb.py", line 200, in
HandleRequests
    list.HandleRequest(request, v, form[comment_key].value)
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/ListAdmin.py", line 122, in
HandleRequest
    self.HandlePostRequest(request_data[2:], value, comment)
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/ListAdmin.py", line 167, in
HandlePostRequest
    self.LogMsg("vette", note)
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 835, in LogMsg
    logf.write(msg % args + '\n')
TypeError: not enough arguments for format string

I believe the problem is because he has a '%' in his email name:
From: Chris_King/BUFFALO/ATTO%<email address hidden>
This is a nutty email address. He is not a member of our company which is
why I
made this a private message. Please dont email him. Or put his email in
somewhere public. Thanks.
