If instead of
mail.set_content(body)
I do
mail.set_content(body, cte="quoted-printable")
then I get
Dear Dr. Bennett,
Blorp! Bleep!
--
Mailbot Inc.
010101 Bot Boulevard
Botham City
B=C3=B6tland
That a bit better, but still not what I want since the main text could
also be in German and thus also contain umlauts, etc.
Cheers,
Loris
