I have recently faced the same thing while developing a Django app that processes emails too. But I found a quick fix, unicode() accepts argument, that tells it what to do when it stumbles upon non-valid character:
email.mail_from = unicode(email['From'], errors = 'ignore') Possible values for "errors" are 'strict' (which is default - raises exception), 'ignore' - just removes invalid character from string and 'replace' - replaces invalid character with U+FFFD --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
