I can either download the RTF or email it. If I download it then an
example of an odd character would look like this “ after opening the
document.
If I email it then django will throw an error:
"UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2013' in
position 27: ordinal not in range(128)"
Emailing with the following code:
mail = EmailMessage('Emailing',
email_msg,
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL,
all_emails,
attachments=[('doc.rtf', rtf_content,
'application/rtf')])
mail.content_subtype = "html"
mail.send(fail_silently = False)
