codec can't
decode byte 0xd6 in position 24: ordinal not in range
(128))
in append() at c:\python23\lib\email\Header.py line

I got this, too when using pop3proxy (spambayes 1.0a4). It is
printed in the headers instead of spam rating (as it should;
I've read other reports here - good that this works), causing
occasionally some spam messages get through. This would be
nice to be fixed - maybe a bit more tolerance to the unicode
function(s)? I know these can be a pain in the..erm...backside
since I'm working with Unicode support myself.

The funny thing about this is that when I look at the Web
interface of pop3proxy and use the Review function to train
the filter, the email is correctly classified as spam and it can
be trained w/o any errors along with the other ones as such.

This is already fixed in CVS.
