 I was copying partly the logic from http://code.activestate.com/recipes/473810
 Changing to buffer.decode("utf-8", 'replace') where I'm reading the
file and
 changing the html template at top to utf-8 leads to following output:

 File "/srv/buildManager/BuildManagerMail.py", line 27, in sendMail
    msgText = MIMEText(htmlMessage, 'html')
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/email/mime/text.py", line 30, in __init__
    self.set_payload(_text, _charset)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/email/message.py", line 224, in
set_payload
    self.set_charset(charset)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/email/message.py", line 264, in
set_charset
    cte(self)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/email/encoders.py", line 73, in

    orig.encode('ascii')
