I'm using the en_GB.UTF-8 locale and thus the entire I/O layer defaults to use UTF-8 encoding. Perfect.
The problem is that mailboxes are *not* and *never* in UTF-8, generally speaking, according to RFC mail standards!
So i suggest that mailbox.py either offers additional 'encoding="latin1"' constructor arguments or always uses "latin1" in open() calls.
This suffices to make mailbox.py usable -
i.e., the mailbox will be loaded/saved without causing encoder errors, and email.py will behave correctly according to message *content* anyway!
P.S.: i am far from being a Python(1) freak and feel a bit lost on *.python.org, so i might have blown the wrong whistles too load.
Sorry, if this is the case.
Thanks for python(1), it's damn slow and i love C and Perl. ;-) |
