13494	Bad default for EMAIL_SUBJECT_PREFIX	Henrique C. Alves	Andi Albrecht	"The 'EMAIL_SUBJECT_PREFIX' setting is, by default, a string. This makes it break loud and needlessly if you pass a translation as the subject to 'mail_managers()':


{{{
TypeError 
cannot concatenate 'str' and '__proxy__' objects
}}}


The culprit line of django/core/mail.py:

{{{
 424. EmailMessage(settings.EMAIL_SUBJECT_PREFIX + subject, message, ...
}}}

Seems like an easy fix (just change the default setting to unicode?)."		closed	Core (Mail)	1.1		fixed			Accepted	1	0	0	0	0	0
