Hello, everyone... I'm trying to send an email to people with non-ASCII characters in their names. A recpient's address may look like:
"Jörg Nørgens" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> My example code: ================================= def sendmail(sender, recipient, body, subject): message = MIMEText(body) message['Subject'] = Header(subject, 'iso-8859-1') message['From'] = Header(sender, 'iso-8859-1') message['To'] = Header(recipient, 'iso-8859-1') s = smtplib.SMTP() s.connect() s.sendmail(sender, recipient, message.as_string()) s.close() ================================= However the Header() method encodes the whole expression in ISO-8859-1: =?iso-8859-1?q?=22J=C3=B6rg_N=C3=B8rgens=22_=3Cjoerg=40nowhere=3E?= However I had expected something like: "=?utf-8?q?J=C3=B6rg?= =?utf-8?q?_N=C3=B8rgens?=" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Of course my mail transfer agent is not happy with the first string although I see that Header() is just doing its job. I'm looking for a way though to encode just the non-ASCII parts like any mail client does. Does anyone have a recipe on how to do that? Or is there a method in the "email" module of the standard library that does what I need? Or should I split by regular expression to extract the email address beforehand? Or a list comprehension to just look for non-ASCII character and Header() them? Sounds dirty. Hints welcome. Regards Christoph -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
