>Summary: UnicodeEncodeError (non-English Language)

Initial Comment:
The problem: cannot analyze existing Japanese-
language mail to build a database of good messages 
using the manager.

I am using SB version 0.81 with Outlook 2003 
(Japanese) in WinXP Pro (Japanese).

SB installs and works properly, filtering English-language 
spam that arrives (which is the vast majority of spam). 
However, when I use the manager to analyze existing 
messages to build the database, the manager stops 
at "writing the database."

The log says: "UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't 
encode characters in position 26-35: ordinal not in range
(128)." The log file is attached (contains some Japanese 
characters, file in ANSI).

Thanks for the report.  A work around should be to create a
"data_directory" in your config file - see the configuration
guide for details.

The problem appears to be a bug in Python - os.utime does
not accept Unicode strings.
