Can you or another Twisted developer code review this: https://github.com/twisted/twisted/pull/867 The problem was originally reported to Buildbot by Christian Wenk who tried to configure his buildbot, and couldn't send notification e-mails when non-ASCII characters were in the sender name. I worked on the fix, which was tested and verified by Christian. Pierre Tardy did an initial code review, but wants to have another person do an additional code review. This problem also affects the Scrapy project, which uses Twisted for sending e-mail. This problem is coming up more frequently, especially with CI systems like GitHub and GitLab which allow non-ASCII characters in the username portion of e-mail addresses. I'd like to get this fix into 17.9.0. Thanks. -- Craig On Tue, Sep 5, 2017 at 4:50 AM, Amber Hawkie Brown < hawkowl@atleastfornow.net> wrote:
