I think we want to define a method how to handle 
  - admin requests
  - document services
via email.

I wrote a similar patch to handle admin requests, but I'll wait until the
stable release.

This is great because nowadays internationalization (i18n) is a great
effort in every package.

BUT... Did you try to enter an accented string to a WWW admin page?  For
example 'általános' (== general in Hungarian).  It will say
'\341ltal\341nos' next time.  If you press a simple OK, you'll see
'\\341ltal\\341nos' next time.  This is due to string parsing in Python and
I don't know how to handle it.
