Hi,
I have written a command-line program to send email using
from email.message import EmailMessage
which has an option '--verbose' which prints the email via
if args.verbose:
print(f"{mail.as_string()}")
If I run this with
$ poetry run send_email loris -l en -s "Another test" -t ~/tmp/blorp_bleep.txt --verbose
the following is printed to the terminal:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
MIME-Version: 1.0
From: hpc at zedat.fu-berlin.de
To: loris at zedat.fu-berlin.de
Subject: Another test

However I would like to see the text as
Dear Dr. Bennett,
Blorp! Bleep!
Regards,

which is how the text appears in the mail.
The 'ö' in 'Bötland' triggers the encoding - with 'Botland' the text
printed to the terminal is the same way as that in the mail.
How do I decode the message properly for an terminal which uss UTF-8?
Regards
Loris
