[issue12552] email.MIMEText overide BASE64 for utf8 charset

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

This should do what you want:

  from email import charset
  charset.add_charset('utf-8', charset.SHORTEST, charset.QP)

This will override the default handling of utf-8 (which is BASE64, as you note).

If this doesn't solve your problem please reopen the issue.

It is a valid feature request (for 3.3) to have a way to make this '8bit'.  I think I'll open an issue for that.
