I want to change the body encoding (base64, quoted-printible) of an email.
Example code:
{{{
#!python
from email import charset
from django.core.mail import EmailMessage
msg = EmailMessage("Subject", "Hello World")
encoding = charset.Charset("utf--8")
encoding.body_encoding = charset.QP
msg.encoding = encoding
print(msg) # Is not encoded with quoted-printables
}}}
The quoted-printible encoding in this case is overwritten in
`SafeMIMEText`. The `encoding` property of `EmailMessage` seems not to be
documented? I attached a patch which changes the bahvior of SafeMIMEText
for the case a `email.charset.Charset` object was given.
Another idea is to add a new property to `EmailMessage.__init__` which
allows to set the body encoding.
Versions 1.11 through master are affected.
