But it looks like the Python library assumes that they are strings and getting "content-type" fails (I would say Python bug). Anyway, I change the patch so that it only converts the the Subject header which is the one that bothers me most: commit 1b0c0113861681974b8905dbe10a57f6831ecb87 Author: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Feb 12 15:36:37 2010 +0000 mail: Use space rather than tab for long subject header folding The default Python implementation (at least 2.5 and earlier) fold long e-mail header lines by inserting "\n\t". This causes issues with some e-mail clients that remove both "\n\t". The RFC2822 shows that folding should be done with "\n ". The Python workaround is to use a Header object instead of a string when setting the message headers.
