19107	Can't send unicode e-mail	carneiro.be@…	nobody	"Hello guys,

I'm on django dev and having troubles sending unicode emails. Here's the relevant code:

{{{
# person is a normal django user
subject = u""Welcome to Odeio - %s"" % person.name
message = render_to_string('accounts/registration_email.txt', ctx_dict)
person.email_user(subject, message)
}}}


Error: 
{{{
'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe1' in position 2: ordinal not in range(128)
}}}


Stacktrace:

{{{
