email 2.4.1 raises a UnicodeError when encountering
8-bit strings in rfc2822 message headers.  Although
this is not RFC compliant, it is commonly the case for
spam messages originating from Asia.

It was suggested on mimelib-devel that email should
offer 'strict', 'ignore', and 'replace' modes for the 
programmer to decide what they want to do with 
invalid 8-bit data.

This bug was discussed on the mimelib-devel list.

Upgrading to email 2.4.3 solved this problem.  Thanks.
