I have an inbound mail handler in my python GAE app, that logs the sender of
the incoming email like this:
class MyMailHandler(InboundMailHandler):
def receive(self, message):
. . .
logging.info('email from [' + message.sender + '] ' +
str(type(message.sender)))
And for some of my received emails, I see something like this in the logs:
email from ["=?utf-8?B?SmVubnkgU3RlZWxl?=" <[email protected]>] <type
'str'>
Whats with the utf-8 stuff within the quotes? (note that I have changed the
actual email address). Python reports "message.sender" as a str type, not
unicode. Why am I not getting the name of the actual sender. In most
emails I would see the following in the logs:
email from ["Someone Somewhere" <[email protected]>] <type 'str'>
Any clues?
