TypeError: expected string or bytes-like object about mail-parser HOT 8 CLOSED

Hi @kojibhy,

can you give me more details?
What is your input? So I can understand what's happen.

from mail-parser.

Hi, i am using Python3:
cannot decode many fields this is exemple:
b'"\xdd\xca\xc2\xc0\xc9\xd0\xc8\xcd\xc3" [email protected]'

sometimes i get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/root/PythonProjects/venv/lib/python3.5/site-packages/mailparser/utils.py", line 71, in ported_string
return six.text_type(raw_data, encoding).strip()
LookupError: unknown encoding: unknown-8bit

and this:

File "/root/PythonProjects/venv/lib/python3.5/site-packages/mailparser/utils.py", line 73, in ported_string
return six.text_type(raw_data, "utf-8").strip()
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xca in position 41: invalid continuation byte

from mail-parser.

mailparser can't use encoding of mail because it's not known and fail the parsing.

LookupError: unknown encoding: unknown-8bit

Can you give me the raw mail?

from mail-parser.
