I have a script that produces an email (in Spanish) when new content is
published. I can get the body of the email to show up correctly (ie the
accents etc render correctly) but the subject turns spanish characters into
garbage.
SMTP message header has to be encoded specially if it contains non ascii 
characters. Subject has to be of the form:
=?<enc>?b?<text>?=

and text should be base64 encoded.

Here is a simple script that will generate proper header value for a UTF-8 
string:

import base64
def encode_smtp_header (s):
   m = base64.encodestring (s.strip ()).strip ()
   return "=?%s?%s?%s?=" % ('utf-8','b', m)
