#1411 Drag and Drop of Email from Outlook with special characters in title doesn't work and corrupts saving of tsk

[Henning Tietgens]

If I drag and drop an email from Outlook to Task Coach which contains special characters in the title to create a new task, the task window won't be opened. After trying this, it's not possible to save the current tsk file. I have to quit Task Coach and reopen it to continue to work.

Examples for characters resulting in this behaviour: ä ö ü

The choosen language for Task Coach has any influence on this, I tried German and English with the same effect.

The log shows following error:

C:\X-TaskCoach\Bin\TaskCoach\library.zip\taskcoachlib\domain\base\sorter.py:72: UnicodeWarning: Unicode equal comparison failed to convert both arguments to Unicode - interpreting them as being unequal
