R. David Murray added the comment: You are, but you are also calling as_string. Unicode can not handle 8bit data, therefore the email package must down-transform all data to 7bit when converting it to a string, just like a mail server trying to send to another mail server that can only handle 7bit would do.
If you used BytesGenerator to serialize the message, *then* you would expect to see 8bit utf-8 data in the body. There are supposed to be tests for these cases, so I have to investigate why the tests are broken, as well :) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19063> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
