There is a bug in certain versions of the Python email package. This TypeError occurs because in the call to set_charset, the argument in this case is a unicode u'windows-1252' instead of a string 'windows-1252'. See the bug report at <https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/328353>, particularly the patch at comment #11 which I think will fix this. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
