Jean-Paul Calderone <exar...@twistedmatrix.com> added the comment: SMTP (RFC 2821) doesn't support non-ASCII envelope addresses. A better behavior here would be for connection.login to raise a ValueError or a TypeError whenever a non-str is passed in.
RFC 5336, though, adds the UTF8SMTP extension, which adds support for UTF-8 encoded unicode mailboxes. If the server advertises the UTF8SMTP capability, then smtplib could encode unicode using UTF-8 and pass it on. This is really a feature request (RFC 5336 support), not a bug. ---------- nosy: +exarkun _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8489> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
