Might you upload the mailmerge_template and mailmerge_database files that generated the error? That would help me reproduce and fix it.

mailmerge_template.txt Huh, fast answer, nice. Here you have the template. The database I cannot give you due to data privacy. I see the issue in the umlauts ü, ä and ö Those characters are not in the ascii charset. They are in the latin-1 charset though.

I'm working on a permanent fix. In the meantime, a workaround is to use Python 3, which is 100% unicode.

First, remove your old install of mailmerge:

pip uninstall mailmerge

Then, install the Python 3 version of mailmerge:

pip3 install mailmerge
