Re: Sending email in utf-8?
By turning everything into unicode objects (unicode(string)) and then
running body.encode('utf-8') and using quoted printable, it works.
Thanks for all the help, it's really appreciated!

that's 0xC3 0xB8 (at least according to my mail reader), which, translated
back from UTF-8, looks like a typically norsk character to me...
>>> name = "\xc3\xb8".decode("utf-8")
>>> print name
ø
>>> import unicodedata
>>> unicodedata.name(name)
'LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH STROKE'
try adding a "Mime-Version: 1.0" header to your mail.
a "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit" might not hurt either (or run the body
through
quopri.encodestring() after you've encoded it, and use
"Content-Transfer-Encoding:
quoted-printable").
(also check the email package: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-email.html )

This is a method I have clipped from one of my projects. It should

looks like you're confusing Unicode (character set) and UTF-8 (encoding).
smtplib only deals with 8-bit character streams; if you want to use a specific
encoding, you have to apply it yourself *before* you call the library:
HOST = "..."
FROM = "..."
TO = "..."
BODY = u"..."
server = smtplib.SMTP(HOST)
server.sendmail(FROM, [TO], BODY.encode("utf-8"))
server.quit()

Sending email in utf-8?
Hi, I have an email that's in the utf-8 encoding, and I'm getting this error message when I try to send it using smtplib: * Module smtplib, line 688, in sendmail * Module smtplib, line 485, in data * Module smtplib, line 312, in send * Module socket, line 1, in sendall UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 263-264: ordinal not in range(128) any suggestions on how I can approach this so that the email can be sent without raising errors? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
