New submission from Eduard Bopp <eduard.b...@aepsil0n.de>: Using email.policy.SMTP a message's non-ASCII characters are not encoded. The policy.utf8 attribute is set to False as documented.
The attached script illustrates the behaviour. I get the following command line output from it: Subject: =?utf-8?b?w7zDtsOk?= False Subject: üöä True Subject: üöä The default compat32 policy encodes the string, but the SMTP policy does not encode it, but leaves it as UTF-8 despite policy.utf8 == False. I might be misreading the documentation here, but it seems to me like utf8 == False implies that encoding should happen. ---------- components: email files: minimal.py messages: 365596 nosy: aepsil0n, barry, r.david.murray priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: SMTP email policy does not encode non-ASCII characters type: behavior versions: Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8 Added file: https://bugs.python.org/file49026/minimal.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40157> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
