Re: [Imaplib2-devel] Feature request Support RFC-6855 UTF8

[Chris C. <ch...@es...>]

Piers,

A UTF-8 internationalized headers protocol issue has been reported, as 
happening during the communications between imaplib2 and the Germany 
localized Microsoft Exchange Server.  Maybe you could take a look.  
Imaplib2 is returning back to the application, the internationalized 
versions of the header names, at a place when this probably shouldn't be 
happening.  Maybe Imaplib2 should retain these headers for possible 
later use.
