Don't know just comes after being open a short while usually say Not Now and so far works other wise..
Report says US but I'm in Canada
cause unknown. Possibly due to software upgrade to Deepin OS?

Research direction
Start at electrum_plugins/email_requests/qt.py line 71, where the traceback shows msg_data being decoded as UTF-8 before email.message_from_string is called. Review the surrounding polling flow and the reported crash details; done should mean the reported UnicodeDecodeError is handled or reproduced with a regression test, but the issue does not specify the intended behavior.
