Peter Kleiweg <pklei...@xs4all.nl> added the comment: In Python 3.1.1, email.mime.text.MIMEText accepts an 8-bit charset, but not utf-8.
I think you should not have to specify a charset. All strings are unicode now,
so I think the package should choose an appropriate charset based on the
characters in the text, us-ascii, some iso-8859 charset, or utf-8, whatever
fits.
