Running the following lisp code: (mail-header-parse-address "Łukasz Stelmach ") yields the error message: Unknown symbol: Ł and the invalid result: ("steelman@post.pl" . "ukasz Stelmach") As far as I can tell this happens if the first character of the address string is an UTF-8 (non-ascii?) one. -- Było mi bardzo miło. --- Rurku. --- ... >Łukasz< --- To dobrze, że mnie słuchasz.
