[issue4403] regression from 2.6: smtplib.py requiring ascii for sending messages

[August Mueller]

August Mueller <gus at flyingmeat.com> added the comment:

For completeness, if anyone runs across this in the future, the following seems to work for sending utf-8 mail 
in python 3:

import smtplib
import email.mime.text

msg = email.mime.text.MIMEText("Ümlaut", _charset="UTF-8")

smtp = smtplib.SMTP('localhost')
smtp.sendmail('gus at flyingmeat.com', 'gus at flyingmeat.com', "Subject: This is your mail\n" + msg.as_string())
smtp.quit()
