New submission from Ervin Hegedüs:
Looks like smtplib can send only messages, which contains only 7bit (ascii)
characters. Here is the example:
# -*- coding: utf8 -*-
import time
import smtplib
mailfrom = "m...@mydomain.com"
rcptto = "m...@otherdomain.com"
msg = """%s
From: Me <%s>
To: %s
Subject: Plain text e-mail
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Disposition: inline
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
happy New Year
Ευτυχισμένο το Νέο Έτος
明けましておめでとうございます
с Новым годом
""" % (time.strftime('%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S +0100', time.localtime()),
mailfrom, rcptto)
server = smtplib.SMTP('localhost')
server.sendmail(mailfrom, rcptto, msg)
server.quit()
With Python2 (Python 2.7), this script finished succesfully. With Python3
(Python 3.4), I've got this execption:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "8bittest.py", line 28, in <module>
server.sendmail(mailfrom, rcptto, msg)
File "/usr/lib/python3.4/smtplib.py", line 765, in sendmail
msg = _fix_eols(msg).encode('ascii')
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 261-271:
ordinal not in range(128)
Basicly, I don't understand, why smtplib allows only ascii encoded messages in
Python 3. That worked (and works) in Python 2, and I think, that's the correct
behavior.
