New submission from James Henstridge <ja...@jamesh.id.au>: The IMAP4rev1 specification allows for non-ASCII mailbox names using a modified UTF-7 encoding (section 5.1.3 of RFC 2060 or 3501). However, the imaplib routines taking a mailbox name just pass the string straight through without any encoding.
It would be useful if Python provided an encoder/decoder for the modified UTF-7 encoding, and optionally if imaplib would perform the encoding and decoding at the appropriate points. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 82408 nosy: jamesh severity: normal status: open title: imaplib should support international mailbox names versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5305> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
