No, it doesn't:
Python 3.2.3rc1 (default, Mar 9 2012, 23:02:43)
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from email.mime.text import MIMEText
>>> print(MIMEText('йцукен'))
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
йцукен
>>>
As you can see, it leaves russian text in unmodified state and sets the charset
to "us-ascii". Should it be considered as a bug?

I'm writing a "send via e-mail" plugin for my ReText editor
(http://retext.sourceforge.net/).
