unicode-error in header_text

[Philip Bauer]

Usage of umlauts (e.g. ü) in header_text leads to an unicodeDecodeError on preview and sending:

(...)
  Module collective.dancing.browser.sendnewsletter, line 51, in _assemble_messages
  Module collective.singing.scheduler, line 117, in __call__
  Module collective.singing.scheduler, line 109, in render_message
  Module collective.dancing.composer, line 223, in render
  Module collective.dancing.composer, line 175, in _vars
  Module collective.dancing.composer, line 173, in subs
  Module string, line 205, in safe_substitute
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 9: ordinal not in range(128)

Strangely, using an umlaut in footer_text does not produce this error.

I'm also affected by this bug. I'm using the newest collective.dancing version 0.9.2. Fixed this locally by adding .decode("utf-8") to the code like this:

vars['header_text'] = fix_urls(self.header_text or u"").decode("utf-8")

Feel free to fix in trunk so it can be in 0.9.3. And add a test for extra karma.

Read http://dev.plone.org/collective for instructions on how to get access to the collective, if you don't have it.
