New submission from maxua <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
When using MIME email package you can specify "utf8" as the encoding. It
will be accepted but it is not rendered correctly in some MUA. E.g. Mac
OS X Mail.app doesn't display it properly while Google Gmail does.
It is confusing since Python itself happily understands both utf8 and utf-8.
The patch adds "utf8" as an alias to "utf-8" encoding which means user
won't need to think twice.
Test case:
from email.MIMEText import MIMEText
msg = MIMEText(u'\u043a\u0438\u0440\u0438\u043b\u0438\u0446\u0430')
msg.set_charset('utf8')
print msg.as_string()
