The charset is not passed to MIMEText in msgText = MIMEText(output, msg_format) With MIMEText(output, msg_format, _charset=self._charset.output_charset), it's ok

[Stephan Geulette]

Beware, the proposed correction doesn't work !

[Stephan Geulette]

when passing charset to MIMEText, in my case the cte is set to base64

It works if the cte already in msgText isn't modified ! # del msgTextContent-Transfer-Encoding? # msgText.set_charset(self._charset)
