Comment:
I have been able to reproduce. This happens because post-office attach
files with binary content (using `FileField.read()`) whatever the mime
type (see for example how Django distinguish file read mode for text-based
attachments in `EmailMessage.attach_file`).
I have not made my mind yet if and how Django should safeguard against
such issues...
Test to reproduce:
{{{
def test_attach_text_as_bytes(self):
msg = EmailMessage('subject', 'body', '[email protected]',
['[email protected]'])
file_path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(upath(__file__)),
'attachments', 'file.txt')
with open(file_path, mode='rb') as fh:
msg.attach('file.txt', fh.read())
msg.send()
}}}
