When the MUA of the recepient is running on a machine with UTF-8, it ""works"", but with recipients having their machines running ISO-8859-x or other non-UTF-8 charset, the subject appears broken. I think the problem comes from the implementation of the __setitem__ method of the SafeMIMEText class. It only uses the Header() class when str(force_unicode(val)) raises an exception, which it doesn't do in my case (I suppose because my subject is properly UTF-8 encoded). However, I'd say it should *always* use Header(), which properly turns an UTF-8 string to a quoted-printable string. I'm running Django trunk at r6526. Don't hesitate to ask for further details if needed." closed Core (Other) dev fixed Accepted 0 0 0 0 0 0
