The Ticket is created and the attachments are added as "none", "none-1".

The screenshots are embedded in the ticket as image either.

At the bottom of the description, the Attachments are listet with their former names

Attachments:

• Störungen teX Jan 2010.xls
• StörungenteX Feb 2010.xls

so far so good. But execution crashes! (and the ticket is created again and again calling run_email2trac)

version is 1.2.0

You enabled debug in email2trac,conf. If yes then this is not yet unicode proof ;-(. If debug is on you must have the orignal message in /tmp. Can you mail it as attachment to me or attach it to this ticket? So i can test it

[hju@…]

sorry, but

debug: 0

in email2trac.conf

I was surprised too to see the first error-log indicating to debug_attachments

[basv@…]

If there is an error with the mail it will always save the original
email.
  That is independent of debug setting.

Hi bas,

will this be fixed soon? Since debug

[...] is not yet unicode proof ;-(

this will end in trouble...

[bas]

(In [331]) disabled writing files for Dry-run mode Debug mode can now handle printing of non-ascii chararacters. We just inform the user that it can not be displayed, see #184

[bas]

is fixed in release 1.3.X
