#27333: Different behavior py2 / py3 with Django on base64 body_encoding
EmailMessage

I have a different behavior on body encoding on python 2.7.12 and python
3.5.2 with Django 1.8.15:
{{{
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from __future__ import unicode_literals, absolute_import
from django.conf import settings
settings.configure(DATABASES={}, SECRET_KEY='not empty')
from django.core.mail import EmailMessage
email = EmailMessage('Chère chère', 'Super \' fort très fort.',
'f...@example.com', ['t...@example.com'])
print(email.message().as_string())
}}}
On python 3, the body will be encoded as base64, but not on python 2.
I've found couple of tickets relating to the same subject (#3472, and
#11212 among others), and I've found in the Django code 1.8.15 in the file
`django/core/mail/message.py`:
{{{
# Don't BASE64-encode UTF-8 messages so that we avoid unwanted attention
from
# some spam filters.
utf8_charset = Charset.Charset('utf-8')
utf8_charset.body_encoding = None # Python defaults to BASE64
}}}
I would think from the code and the tickets that Django tries to never
base64 the body of EmailMessage.
Is it the desired behavior?
