I'm hoping someone around here is ;-)

I'm not sure that's correct, but I'm happy to stand corrected.
My understanding is that the StringIO's don't mind as long as they type
is consistent - ie: con't mix unicode and encoded strings, 'cos it
forced python's default ascii codec to kick in and spew unicode errors.
Now, I want to know what I'm supposed to do when I have unicode source
and want it to end up as either a text/plain or text/html mime part.
Is there a how-to for this anywhere? The email package's docs are short
on examples involving charsets, unicode and the like :-(
