I'm just wondering if there is a handler that I'm not seeing in the code that replaces commas in group names with an escaped comma as per the api documentation. I haven't seen it anywhere but that doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't exist.

I had a problem which I suspect is related - one of my interest groups had double quotes in it.

Whenever I tried to sign up for that interest group, the form wouldn't let me ("An illegal choice has been detected").

When I changed the name of the interest group, it was fine.

Comma's aren't escaped in d7 version either. This is making campaignSegmentTest fail. At least it does for me, should probably be fixed in the module/API.
Then again, campaignSegmentTest isn't called anywhere by the module. But I am using it in a custom module. So I just cleaned up the input before calling that function.

This is bad. The module implodes your interest groups adding commas, then sends it to mailchimp API. So.. mailchimp API is expecting a comma delineated list of values?

So you cannot have commas in your "interest group" fields...

Well, you can have comma's, but they do need to be escaped. See #1192556: Escape commas in interest group name for inspiration/explanation. I used something like str_replace(',', '\,', $group); in my own module.

“And now our watch [for support of the 6.x version of the MailChimp module] has ended…” With the end of Drupal 6 support, I’m sad to say we too must turn the page.

Fret not! The 7.x-4.x and 8.x versions come highly recommended. Both are using Mailchimp’s new API 3.0 and are being actively maintained. “What is dead may never die, but rises again, harder and stronger!”
