title: Python, sending email with special character in subject
body: <p>I am sending email from Python (Django). The email host is 'smtp.gmail.com'. I am able to use special characters in the email subject when I use localhost. However, now that I am trying from the server (webfaction) I get an error "UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte..." In the email template I use hex codes, but they don't work for the subject (they aren't translated). What to do?</p>
  
  <pre><code># coding=UTF-8
  ...
  
  subject = "æøå"
  c = {}
  t_html = loader.get_template(template_html)
  t_text = loader.get_template(template_txt) 
  e = EmailMultiAlternatives(subject, t_text.render(Context(c)), from_email, [to_email])
  e.attach_alternative(t_html.render(Context(c)), "text/html")
  e.send() 
  </code></pre>
