Reading kanji from email fixture

Rails
1

Hi,
I have to support kanji emails and my test rig uses

def read_fixture(action)
IO.readlines("#{FIXTURES_PATH}/mail_forwarder/#{action}")
end

which bombs when I throw a raw kanji email at it, i get this:

test/unit/mail_forwarder_test.rb:37:in `readlines'
test/unit/mail_forwarder_test.rb:37:in `read_fixture'
test/unit/mail_forwarder_test.rb:45:in

assert_forwarded_an_identical_copy_of_mail' test/unit/mail_forwarder_test.rb:32:intest_should_forward_an_identical_copy_of_kanji_mail’

1 tests, 0 assertions, 0 failures, 1 errors

what method should I be using to read the lines of the utf-8 file?

Thanks
Robin
