    57The above bit of code in django.core.mail overrides the standard Python behaviour for utf-8 in the Python email module. It would be better to set the charset by calling set_charset() on the Message before sending if needed rather than a global override. This behaviour and assumption is not documented anywhere in Django as far as I can tell. I think this is a case of the framework being a bit too clever. Not everyone using Django is using the django email sending methods nor wants Django to (silently) change the system defaults.
