Dear python-list, I'm having some trouble decoding an email header using the standard imaplib.IMAP4 class and email.message_from_string method.
In particular, email.message_from_string() does not seem to properly decode unicode characters in the subject. How do I decode unicode characters in the subject? I read on the documentation that the email module supports RFC 2047. But is there a way to make imaplib.IMAP4 and email.message_from_string use this protocol? I'm using Python 2.5.2 on Fedora. Perhaps this problem has been fixed already in Python 2.6. RHH -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
