Issue with smtplib sending mail with unicode characters in Python 3.1

Question

Hello i\' ve this problem with unicode emails, when i try to send words in spanish like: \"Añadir\" or others the system collapse, i\'ve try what says on this link: Python 3

Answer 1

I solved it, the solution is this:

import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.header import Header

frm = "xxxx@xxxxxx.com"
msg = MIMEMultipart('alternative')

msg.set_charset('utf8')

msg['FROM'] = frm

bodyStr = ''
to = "xxxx@xxxxxx.com"
#This solved the problem with the encode on the subject.
msg['Subject'] = Header(
    body.getAttribute('subject').encode('utf-8'),
    'UTF-8'
).encode()

msg['To'] = to

# And this on the body
_attach = MIMEText(bodyStr.encode('utf-8'), 'html', 'UTF-8')        

msg.attach(_attach)

server.sendmail(frm, to, msg.as_string())

server.quit()

Hope this helps! Thanks!
