Thank you both for your help and patience with this. Oversight on my part--
I was mistaken by the ticket thrown - the first ticket I got when running
this was for the 'message' (which i tried to cast to string to fix it
before i posted here) param in the email, but then after that i was getting
very similar tickets for other fields, at least some of which were still
lazyT (e.g. subject). So, i'd actually begun to fix the problem by casting
to str() as you both suggested, but kept throwing tickets and didn't look
at those additional tickets closely enough to realize that i'd already
begun to fix the problem.. :0 Then i started messing around in the console
and posted here about those errors, too.
Bottom line - problems went away by casting the lazyT to str() like you
recommended. :)
