Encode error with non unicode chars about django-mailer HOT 5 CLOSED

I need more information to understand your bug:

1. What do you mean by non-unicode characters? There aren't any non-unicode characters that should be making it this far into your app.

2. What version of Python, django and django-mailer are you using?

3. For you changes, it is always better to send a diff to make it clear what it was changed from and to.

I have checked the code and it seems to work on both Python 2 and 3. However, the line you highlighted could be handled better, so I've also pushed a commit that improves it - 9e94f60 . Please let me know if you still have problems - post a traceback, and the data that causes it to go wrong.

Hi Luke,
sorry if my previous issue comment was uncompleted.
In my case I've a subject like "Attività del giorno" and the char 'à' rises the error.
My configuration is:

• Django==1.8.8
• django-mailer==1.1
• mailer==0.8.1
• python 2.7

I can't upgrade mailer because it upgrade even Django, and the application isn't compliant with the new one :'(
I saw your commit and it's working for me.

Thank you very much

There is no problem using django-mailer with Django 1.8.8. I think you probably did:

pip install --upgrade django-mailer

This upgrades everything that django-mailer depends on. However, if you do:

pip install django-mailer==1.2.2

you should have no problem - it won't upgrade Django. You can also install from VCS https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/#git

from django-mailer.

The code you've edited was already changed since 1.1, with tests showing that it works with unicode. Please upgrade to the latest version:

pip install django-mailer==1.2.2
