If the selected EMAIL_CHARSET does not support the encoding for some of the message characters the user get a hard to understand error: Edit Error: 'latin-1' codec can't encode character u'\u20ac' in position 57: ordinal not in range(256) For my need the attached quick-fix solves this Problem, but maybe a more secure Handling is possible. In addition I noticed that the msgXXX.tmp files for the failed messages are not deleted and stay around forever. The code has a rollback() function but I can't find any place where its called.

the message characters the user get a hard to understand error:

Edit Error: 'latin-1' codec can't encode character u'\u20ac' in position
57: ordinal not in range(256)

For my need the attached quick-fix solves this Problem, but maybe a more
secure Handling is possible.
