Emails with accents

[jdescelliers]

Hi,

When using the API, I encontered an error for an illegal character when an email contains an accent.

While uncommun, is there any plans for mailJet to support mails with accents?

Hi @jdescelliers , I think as for now you could easily do with escaping these emails, just like in the workaround I've posted here https://github.com/mailjet/mailjet-gem/issues/145

I've got the same issue.

It is not our concern to escape emails, we do not know what other impact "escaping them" could have. Will mailjet search for escaped character as is or will they decode it ? :\

To provide more context :

when using Mailjet::Contact.find, I got the error :

URI::InvalidURIError: URI must be ascii only "https://api.mailjet.com/v3/REST/contact/xxx\u{e7}xxx@xxx.com"

(email redacted for privacy, apart from the faulty character)

with backtrace
