With the following:
######################################################################
import email.message
m = email.message.EmailMessage()
m['Subject'] = 'Übung'
m.set_content('Dies ist eine Übung')
print('== cte: default == \n')
print(m)
print('-- full mail ---')
print(m)
print('-- just content--')
print(m.get_content())
m.set_content('Dies ist eine Übung', cte='quoted-printable')
print('== cte: quoted-printable ==\n')
print('-- full mail --')
print(m)
print('-- just content --')
print(m.get_content())
######################################################################
I get the following output:
######################################################################
== cte: default ==
Subject: Übung
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
MIME-Version: 1.0
RGllcyBpc3QgZWluZSDDnGJ1bmcK
-- full mail ---
Subject: Übung
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

RGllcyBpc3QgZWluZSDDnGJ1bmcK
-- just content--

== cte: quoted-printable ==

Dies ist eine =C3=9Cbung
-- just content --

######################################################################
So in both cases the subject is fine, but it is unclear to me how to
print the body. Or rather, I know how to print the body OK, but I don't
know how to print the headers separately - there seems to be nothing
like 'get_headers()'. I can use 'get('Subject) etc. and reconstruct the
headers, but that seems a little clunky.
