Thanks!
Just, one mustn't use
server.send_message(msg.as_string())
But what if msg['From'] contains a non-ASCII character?
I wonder what the usage of msg.set_charset('latin-1') is.
With
msg.set_charset('latin-1')
msg.set_payload("Gedanken über einen Test") # is accepted BUT
server.send_message(msg)
gives
Traceback (most recent call last):
