MIMEText UTF-8 encode problems when sending email

Question

Here is a part of my code which sends an email:

servidor = smtplib.SMTP()
servidor.connect(HOST, PORT)
servidor.login(user, usenha)
assunto = str(self.lineEd         


        

Answer 1

I've improved the answer with other way to connect with the server and loggin, because the other way i had the problem to authenticate with the application and people can see all the libraries that should be use

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

user='email1@teste.com'
pwd='password'
server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.office365.com', 587) #it works with outlook
server.ehlo()
server.starttls()
server.login(user, pwd)
assunto = 'Teste'
para = 'email2@teste.com'
texto = 'Niterói é uma cidade incrível '
corpo = MIMEText(texto, 'plain', 'utf-8')
corpo['From'] = user
corpo['To'] = para
corpo['Subject'] = Header(assunto, 'utf-8')
try:
    server.sendmail(user, [para], corpo.as_string())
    print('email was sent')
except:
    print('error')
server.quit()
