You can do that but the problem occurs when you call 
email.generator.flatten (or it is called on your behalf by 
somthing like smtplib.send_message) with such a message.  
flatten always assumes a 7bit encoding and uses the ascii 
codec to encode the message resulting in a UnicodeEncode 
exception when it hits an 8 bit character.  So gymnastics 
like W. Trevor King implemented are necessary.
