Description
The mailing editor does not fail gracefully in the case of non-ASCII characters. After spending 2 hours debugging an email that would hang while saving, I discovered a stray `Line Separator (U+2028)`. This causes a JavaScript crash in `ang/crmUtil.js` on line 31, which tries to `eval` some JSON. The character causes a syntax error.
A possible fix would be to replace `eval` with `JSON.parse`, but I have not tested it, so it may still crash later on even with this.
