Sending unicode emails

[N. Rosencrantz]

How do you send unicode emails with google.appengine.api.mail ? I get
UnicodeException with foreign characters.
Thank you

Are you encountering the error in both production and the SDK app
server, and are you able to post a code snippet and the actual
traceback?

Thanks!

Yes and yes. It's an issue reported
http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=429&sort=-id&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Stars%20Owner%20Summary
Storing unicode works fine but then when I email uncode or take it
from the form an email it it's not working. The address is for example
http://www2.montao.com.br/market/ahFjbGFzc2lmaWVkc21hcmtldHIJCxICQWQYgAgM/vi
where there is a form which doesn't work with foreign characters that
are needed. Here's the code, maybe we can tell python to respect
unicode?
Thank you
class Recommend(webapp.RequestHandler):
def post(self, key):
im = db.get(db.Key(key))
if os.environ.get('HTTP_HOST'):
url = os.environ['HTTP_HOST']
else:
url = os.environ['SERVER_NAME']
email = self.request.POST['tip_email']
msg = self.request.POST['tip_msg']
name = self.request.POST['tip_name']
message = mail.EmailMessage(sender="nikl...@gmail.com",
subject=unicode("%s recommends %s" %
(name, im.title) ))
message.to = email
message.body = "%s %s/market/%s/vi" % (msg, url, key)
message.send()
logging.info("%s emailed %s" % (name, email) )
self.response.out.write("%s emailed %s" % (name, email))

The solution seems to be this:
if isinstance(msg, unicode):
msg = msg.encode('utf-8')
