Notice the =C3=A8 in Court=C3=A8s. It should have been encoded as a "MIME-encoded word" using Quoted-Printable encoding or some other scheme. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME#Encoded-Word . Only ASCII characters are allowed in email headers. utf-8 characters are not allowed. guile-email sees this character whose encoding it does not understand and crashes with a decoding error. I should probably make it raise a more meaningful error. Could you provide more context for your code snippet? How does your program come by this email string? Ideally, you should handle emails only as bytevectors (or binary ports), not as strings. An email can have characters encoded using different schemes, whereas a string is constrained to have all characters encoded using the same scheme.
