UnicodeDecodeError

[aleohl]

Hello,

During receive of an email I got this error message 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xf6 in position 499: invalid start byte.
I do think it was caused by åäö in the subject or body but not sure yet. Will try to reproduce and check what I can do in the code.

Thanks.

I too have seen this error but was never able to reproduce it. Please tell me when you can reproduce it 😁

I have the same issue, can't seem to find a way to reproduce it. Strange stuff

[DasDunkel]

I have managed to reproduce this error by using ö in the recipient address

Using it within the subject/body does not seem to cause the error

I'm using version 1.4.4

I have the same error. Happens when sending mail from Outlook Client and inserting characters like "ö,ä"

[sebastianflint]

Still the same error with the newest 1.4.5 version.

Remote Server returned '554 5.0.0 <[45.9.60.49] #5.0.0 smtp; 5.3.0 - Other mail system problem 500-"Error: (UnicodeDecodeError) 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xe4 in position 0: invalid continuation byte" (delivery attempts: 0)>'

I solved the problem by using "latin1" instead of "utf8" in mailserver3.py.

Thanks for telling us this @Pay1337

I wonder though if this means it would crash, receiving UTF8 encoded email 🧐
