google app engine python mail api changing to utf-8 for other language?

body = """

""".encode('utf-8') % (username, request_url, request_url)


mail.send_mail(sender=sender_address, to=email_address, subject=subject, body=body)

Okay here is what I have so far and it doesn't work. What can I do to encode utf-8 to mail api and make it works for using more than one language in the one email?

Thanks in advance.

I figured out how to do it.

One way I found is to send mail through html.

ActivationEmailMessage.html = u"""
            <html><head></head><body>
            xxxxxx
            </body></html>
            """.encode('ascii', 'xmlcharrefreplace')

ActivationEmailMessage.send()

.encode('utf-8') makes binary out of the string. You have to use .decode('utf-8') See: http://blog.notdot.net/2010/07/Getting-unicode-right-in-Python and also http://docs.python.org/2/howto/unicode.html
