Yes, that's where I get the message about it crashing on line 89 of
Message.pm:
Unrecognised line: address@concealed>  at /home/sympa/bin/Message.pm
line 89

/etc/sympa.conf has the line
lang    us

locale command shows
LANG=en_US

Thanks for looking at this problem.  I have to drop it for now and work
on some other things.
Also, I think that catching non-printing characters early using postfix
header_checks will be a satisfactory workaround.
I will be running a new version of Sympa on a new OS soon.

Thanks,
Liam
