[Tracker-discuss] [issue263] Email not always sent to Python-bugs-list, depending on the user

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

I guess the problem is that bugs.python.org puts things like

From:
=?utf-8?b?Ik1hcnRpbiB2LiBMw7Z3aXMiIDxyZXBvcnRAYnVncy5weXRob24ub3JnPg==?=@psf.upfronthosting.co.za

into the message; this is bogus. Even the ones reported by ajaksu2 are bogus; it
shouldn't b-encode the email address, but only the user name.

The root cause is the switchover of roundup to the email package. roundup now
does first utils.formataddr((u"Martin v. Löwis", "martin at v.loewis.de")), then
creates an email.header.Header(u'"Martin v. L\xf6wis" <martin at v.loewis.de>') and
converts that to a str.

This is now fixed in r72846, r72847.
