title: Email encoding using Django
body: <p>My webapp stores Hebrew text in a Postgres DB and later sends it as an email.
  I can see that the text is stored well in the DB, but when sent as an email it look like gibberish:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>×¢×•×‘×“ ×™×§×¨, ×–×”×• ×˜×¡×˜ ×©×œ ×”×”×ª×¨××•×ª ×”× ×©×œ×—×•×ª
    ×‘×¢×‘×¨×™×ª.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I'm using urlllib to unquote the text from the DB</p>
  
  <pre><code>urllib.unquote(text)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and EmailSender to send the email:</p>
  
  <pre><code>EmailSender().send_html(
      "my email subject",
      email_content,
      [email],
      headers=headers,
      fail_silently=True
  )
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What can be causing that?</p>
