Replying to [ticket:2956 phr]:

character.

What are your locale settings?
I can confirm that a recipient like this cannot be handled even with hg
tip.
However, a quick test showed that this is not in general the case with
multibyte characters.
Just a really really wild guess: 0xA0 is non-breaking-space (at least in
latin1) so it may be due to improper multibyte handling by simply using
issapce() or something like that.
For example, this code
{{{
#include <ctype.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc,char** argv) {
if (!setlocale(NULL,"C")) return 1;
printf("%d\n",isspace(' '));
printf("%d\n",isspace(0xA0));
if (!setlocale(NULL,"de_DE.ISO8859-1")) return 1;
printf("%d\n",isspace(' '));
printf("%d\n",isspace(0xA0));
return 0;
}
}}}
correctly gives 1, 0, 1 and 1 on OS X.
