Allow sending email in a non-default encoding

Reported by: russblau@imapmail.org Assigned to: adrian

Description

Since #1235, all email is now encoded using the encoding found in the DEFAULT_CHARSET setting. This is fine for a default, but there should be an optional argument added to send_mail() to permit specifying a different encoding for mail when needed.

Maybe Django could use a project wide EMAIL_CHARSET setting that defaults to DEFAULT_CHARSET?

This would be useful for working around some awkward SpamAssassin behavoir. When using the UTF-8 encoding, Python encodes the mail using BASE64. This triggers a SpamAssassin test (MIME_BASE64_NO_NAME) because it detects a BASE64 attachment without a filename. This gives the mail an extra spamminess of 0.224 points, which is not much, but I'd rather avoid it by encoding my mail with us-ascii or whatever to avoid the BASE64 encoding.

Replying to Jon Colverson <djangotrac@vcxz.co.uk>: As pointed out on the mailing list, my concerns are probably better addressed by ticket:3472.
