Comment:
Since the send_mail function API is frozen, adding another 'encoding'
parameter may not be added. I'm submitting a patch to resolve this issue
with two possible ways:
1. Add 'encoding' parameter to the send_mail function.
1. Add 'encoding' parameter to the EmailMessage constructor.
It _IS_ currently possible to specify the encoding of the mail using the
EmailMessage like..
{{{
connection = SMTPConnection(username=auth_user, password=auth_password,
fail_silently=fail_silently)
email = EmailMessage(subject, message, from_email, recipient_list,
connection=connection)
email.encoding = 'utf8'
email.send()
}}}
But it does not kill to support encoding parameter in the send_mail and
the constructor.
This patch enables..
{{{
connection = SMTPConnection(username=auth_user, password=auth_password,
fail_silently=fail_silently)
email = EmailMessage(subject, message, from_email, recipient_list,
connection=connection, encoding='utf8').send()
}}}
Or even
{{{
send_mail('Subject here', 'Here is the message.', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]',
['[EMAIL PROTECTED]'], fail_silently=False, encoding='utf8')
}}}
