Comment:
It looks like I can't reproduce against master anymore as the issue
manifests itself on Python 2, sorry for the false alarm Tim.
Here's how the attachment is sent on Python 2
{{{
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename*="utf-8''%D0%98%D0%BC%D1%8F%20%D1%84%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%BB%D0%B0"
data
}}}
And on Python 3
{{{
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename*=utf-8''%D0%98%D0%BC%D1%8F%20%D1%84%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%BB%D0%B0
data
}}}
Notice that both use a RFC 2231 `filename*=` parameter but the value is
within double quotes on Python 2 while it isn't on Python 3. That seems to
be the reason why GMail rejects the encoded value.
This was changed in Python 3.1
