Python - How to send utf-8 e-mail?
You should just add 'utf-8' argument to your MIMEText calls (it assumes 'us-ascii' by default).
For example:
# -*- encoding: utf-8 -*-from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipartfrom email.mime.text import MIMETextmsg = MIMEMultipart("alternative")msg["Subject"] = u'テストメール'part1 = MIMEText(u'\u3053\u3093\u306b\u3061\u306f\u3001\u4e16\u754c\uff01\n', "plain", "utf-8")msg.attach(part1)print msg.as_string().encode('ascii')
The question asked by Martin Drlík is 7 years and 8 months old... And nowadays, thanks to the developers of Python, encoding problems are solved with version 3 of Python.
Consequently, it is no longer necessary to specify that one must use the utf-8 encoding:
#!/usr/bin/python2# -*- encoding: utf-8 -*-... part2 = MIMEText(text, "plain", "utf-8")We will simply write:
#!/usr/bin/python3... part2 = MIMEText(text, "plain")Ultimate consequence: Martin Drlík's script works perfectly well!
However, it would be better to use the email.parser module, as suggested in email: Examples.
