Hi,
django.core.mail.send_mail raises an exception if the subject contains a
newline.
We have hit this problem because we have a piece of code that parses an
email using Python's libraries, extracts the subject and then re-sends an
email with the same subject.
If this email has a multi-line subject (this seems to be common, I believe
some bit in mail delivery code wordwraps headers), this code then fails
unexpectedly.
This is extremely hard to detect before it happens, so we would humbly
suggest that send_mail don't raise an error if passed a subject containing
a newline, but rather sends the email doing the necessary security
handling.
Kind regards,
Álex
