django 1.4: Error importing email backend module django.core.mail.backends.smtp: "cannot import name sanitize_address"

I see the import in core.mail.backends.smtp, but I don't see sanity_address in core.mail.message, which is where it's trying to import from:

from django.core.mail.message import sanitize_address

Please advise.
