flask-mail

flask-mail copied to clipboard

Is there a simple way to configure flask-email to accept unicode pt-BR?

This is flask-mail configuration:

msg = Message(
        subject,
        sender=mail_settings.get("MAIL_USERNAME"),
        recipients=[email],
        body='Olá como vai você'.encode('utf-8'),
        charset='utf-8'
        ) 

I get the following error:

 msg = _fix_eols(msg).encode('ascii')
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xe1' in position 322: ordinal not in range(128)

Strangely the subject accepts unicode

Well you are passing utf-8 bytes and not unicode for the body right now...

which parameter to configure to pass the unicode?

A body with unicode characters seems to be supported correctly, no .encode call needed.
