Unicode Decode Error

Hi all!

We got often problems with spammails, which have special characters in
the header.
The tmda-cgi is still unaseable, till I delete the pending file or
remove the specials chars in it.

What we have to change to bypass this unicode error?

In this expamle the "From"-field looks like this: "From: Viagra.com Inc
® <[email protected]>"

Hope someone needs an answer...

so long,
Andreas

A problem occurred in a Python script. Here is the sequence of function
calls leading up to the error, in the order they occurred.
