mail plain text message wrong charset
szimszon
I like to send email with:
context=dict(...)
message=response.render( 'template.txt', context )
mail.send( to = ['some email'],
subject = 'proba',
message = message,
)
There is some non-ASCII chars in the template, but I got
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
And not charset='utf-8' :(
Can I change it somehow?
Tnx.

So it's a most recent version of tools.py fresh from

isn't any encoding just
server=None, sender=None, login=None, tls=True

this init is for class Attachment
I don't want to include attachments I'll only send plaintext messages
with Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" :)

however your SMTP server is re-coding this into its own encoding.
I use Google Apps to send all of my emails with my web2py instances. I
just checked some of the messages received and they are all encoded
"us-ascii".
Further investigation using a SMTP server that we manage ourselves
with (mt), all emails sent from this server are encoded utf-8.
This must not be a web2py issue but SMTP issue. Google and the like
decide to recode all of their messages, and there might not be
anything that can be done about it besides using your own SMTP server.

You talk about the character real representation like ÁÖ...
or the email part header
--===============1974471883==
Content-Type: text/plain;charset="us-ascii"
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
if you say us-ascii?
I think the email message part header
--===============1974471883==
Content-Type: text/plain;charset="us-ascii"
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
is part of the mail body and generated by python. I don't think it
gets rewritten by mail transport agent. So my primary concern is the
generated instruction about how to read the rest of the message. Is it
us-ascii or utf-8. I don't mind how is the text actually encoded...

Server A -> Google SMTP -> receive Content-Type us-ascii
Server B -> Custom SMTP -> receive Content-Type utf-8
If I take Server B's credentials for the SMTP server, and stick them
in Server A this is the result..
ServerA -> Custom SMTP -> receive Content-Type utf-8
ServerB -> Custom SMTP -> receive Content-Type utf-8
And I also did the reverse
ServerA -> Google SMTP -> receive Content-Type us-ascii
ServerB -> Google SMTP -> receive Content-Type us-ascii
The only change is the credentials and SMTP server I am connecting to,
no code changes whatsoever.

I don't use credentials to send mail because I use my local mail
transport agent so I don't need it and I got Content-Type us-ascii
too.
So the error is possible in the code to send mail without
credentials...?

----------- cut --------------
else:
text =
text.read().decode(encoding).encode('utf-8')
attachment.attach(MIMEText.MIMEText(text))
if html != None:
if isinstance(html, str):
html = html.decode(encoding).encode('utf-8')
----------- cut --------------
at line 285 in gluon/tools.py.
I changed the
attachment.attach(MIMEText.MIMEText(text))
line to
attachment.attach(MIMEText.MIMEText(text,_charset='utf-8'))
"_charset is the character set of the text and is passed as a
parameter to the
MIMENonMultipart constructor; it defaults to us-ascii. No guessing or
encoding is performed
^^^^^^^^
on the text data."
because of http://docs.python.org/library/email.mime.html:
----------------------- cut ------------------------
class email.mime.text.MIMEText(_text[, _subtype[, _charset]])
Module: email.mime.text
A subclass of MIMENonMultipart, the MIMEText class is used to create
MIME objects of major type text. _text is the string for the payload.
_subtype is the minor type and defaults to plain. _charset is the
character set of the text and is passed as a parameter to the
MIMENonMultipart constructor; it defaults to us-ascii. No guessing or
encoding is performed on the text data.
Changed in version 2.4: The previously deprecated _encoding argument
has been removed. Encoding happens implicitly based on the _charset
argument.
----------------------- cut ------------------------
But the Subject line isn't good because it has no encoding information
in it...
