Re: "Misfin reference server crashes when mail is sent..."
Thank you very much for your interest in the issue and quick resolution.
I like what you are doing and want misfin to get some traction, but mail dying on unicode was bit of a deal breaker.
I'm kind of shocked no one encountered it before. Maybe some users assumed everything was fine via the frontend and never drilled down to see what was wrong. I'd have never spotted it if I was not trying to debug missing mail on my server.

@istvan You're welcome, and thanks again, yeah instant deal breaker, if you had not raised the issue it might have gone unnoticed for much longer ... Added support for MH/Maildir a few months ago and the unit tests didn't have any messages that included unicode characters .. my fault.
The frontend should also be internationalized and let you select a language for the interface.
Misfin reference server crashes when mail is sent containing unicode in the name or body of the message and the recipient is using MailDir or MH. Error ultimately comes from Python itself. The mailbox module is not Unicode safe and leads to a crash: File "/email/generator.py", line 410, in write self._fp.write(s.encode('ascii', 'surrogateescape')) UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-3: ordinal not in range(128) Appears it may work if you are using gembox...
