You are sending a Python unicode object.
You need to send an array of bytes.

This prints correctly in DOS. I think it auto-converts to cp437 for
output. When I copy it into the clipboard it stores in some other
format... when I paste into my mail client "Becky" it may use even
some other format, and when it gets to you, perhaps even another...
The third line " J o s o" is already mangled away from what I see
in the DOS shell. The final line looks good, as å is a common char
in codecs, but I don't think I can say what it will look like in
your clients.
