Tony Nelson <tony_nel...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: This seems entirely reasonable, helpful, and in accord with the mapping of ascii to us-ascii. I recommend accepting this patch or a slightly fancier one that would also do "utf_8".
There are pobably other encoding names with the same issue of being accepted by Python but not be understood by other email clients. This issue also affects 2.6.1 and 2.7trunk. I haven't checked 3.x. ---------- nosy: +barry, tony_nelson _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4487> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
