What is the problem with encoding the message as utf-8 before setting
the payload? That has always worked for me.
pl = u'Some text with chars that need encoding:\xa3'.encode('utf-8')
msg.set_payload(pl ,charset)
From the docs:
"""
The payload is either a string in the case of simple message objects or
a list of Message objects for MIME container documents (e.g. multipart/*
and message/rfc822)
"""
Message objects are always encoded strings. I don't remember seeing that
it should be possible to use a unicode string as a message.
The charset passed in set_payload(pl ,charset) is the charset the the
string *is* encoded in. Not the charset it *should* be encoded in.
