I missed out pass 4:

Create the node with

   unicode_tag.appendChild( doc.createTextNode( segment[0].encode( "utf-8") ) )

and print with 

    XMLFILE = open( filename, "w" )
    xml.documentElement.writexml( XMLFILE, indent="", addindent="", newl="")
    XMLFILE.close()

Produces the error
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./storemail.py", line 347, in ?
    save_message( message, raw_message, savedir + "/" + filename + ".xml" )
  File "./storemail.py", line 130, in save_message
    xml = message_to_xml( message, raw_message )
  File "./storemail.py", line 179, in message_to_xml
    entity_tag = entity_to_xml( entity, doc )
  File "./storemail.py", line 215, in entity_to_xml
    unicode_tag.appendChild( doc.createTextNode( segment[0].encode( "utf-8") ) )
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xee in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)
