Well this works for me. I had a little look in the code and it seems buggy to me, at least the 3.2 version is. There is a _encode but (1) The bytes generator version is defined to allways use us-ascii as encoding and (2) I couldn't find it actually being called on a mesg part. ------------------------------------------------------------ import smtplib from email.mime.text import MIMEText txt = '''\ Het adres is Fréderic Boëven Frère Orbanstraat 17 ''' recipient = "..." sender = "..." msg = MIMEText(txt) msg.set_charset("utf-8") msg['Subject'] = 'Python email tets' msg['From'] = sender msg['To'] = recipient s = smtplib.SMTP('localhost') s.sendmail(sender, [recipient], msg.as_string().encode("utf-8")) s.quit() -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
