Comment (by Trenton H):
Assuming SMTP is configured for a project:
{{{#!python
from django.core.mail import EmailMessage
email = EmailMessage(
subject="subject",
body="body",
to="[email protected]",
)
email.attach_file("problem.eml")
# or
email.attach_file("problem.eml", "message/rfc822")
n_messages = email.send()
}}}
I would expect this to work without issue, but as shown above, Django
appear to either assume ASCII or uses the standard library in a way that
assumes ASCII. As a user, I would not expect to need extra steps or
processing for this code to work without a crash and just attach the file
instead.
I don't know about the internals to say how it would be fixed. Perhaps
checking the headers of attached messages? Defaulting to utf-8 somewhere?
