[Web-SIG] sending multi-part responses from the web server

I have a web site that generates a document for download "on the fly". 
It is requested through a submit button.  I also generate the response
html along with the download.  To create the multi-part response I used
the email modules MIME support.

Everything works, but to prevent quoted-printable encoding of the HTML,
I sued this line of code:
        body.add_payload(MIMEText(
		html,		# this is the unicode response
		_subtype='html',
		_charset=None))
body is the MIMEMultipart container.

Should I have used a different MIME module or a different approach?
