Hi

I'm trying to run email2trac with postfix. It kindof works, but just kindof.

When I test it with

mail tracproj < msg.txt

a new ticket is created, but it is not formated at all. The whole email, including headers and mime definition is part of the description of the new ticket. and there are no attachement. The body looks

When I try to create a ticket with

email2trac --project=tracproj < msg.txt 

the email is created and formated just fine.

I run it with mta_user=nobody and trac_user=root (I know, it is not the best way to run it with root...)

Any idea what I missed or what I could have done wrong?

Thanks Florian

I sent a test mail with Mozilla Thunderbird with the sender set to "Jan Söderback <jsoderba@…>" in UTF-8. The server is CentOS 5.2 with Postfix 2.3.3 and trac 0.10.4

Raw mail header:

From syslog:

If debug is 0 everything works as expected.

We had an initial ticket status of "forespørsel", and that caused email2trac to fail with the error(s):

email2trac: Traceback (most recent call last): 
email2trac:   File "/usr/bin/email2trac", line 2133, in <module>     tktparser.parse(sys .stdin)

email2trac: UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xf8' in position 27: ordinal not in range(128) 

It would appear some more care is needed to support unicode in all strings in email2trac. I had a brief look at the script, but couldn't easily see if it would be safe and sound to simply wrap all missing strings with a .encode('utf-8') or not.

For now the workaround has been to limit ourselves to ascii-characters in ticket-status names -- but that is obviously not a good solution (it's looks a bit strange in Norwegian, in eg. Japanese it would be hopeless).
