With the following:

######################################################################

import email.message

m = email.message.EmailMessage()

m['Subject'] = 'Übung'

m.set_content('Dies ist eine Übung')
print('== cte: default == \n')
print(m)

print('-- full mail ---')
print(m)
print('-- just content--')
print(m.get_content())

m.set_content('Dies ist eine Übung', cte='quoted-printable')
print('== cte: quoted-printable ==\n')
print('-- full mail --')
print(m)
print('-- just content --')
print(m.get_content())

######################################################################

I get the following output:

######################################################################

== cte: default == 

Subject: Übung
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
MIME-Version: 1.0

RGllcyBpc3QgZWluZSDDnGJ1bmcK

-- full mail ---
Subject: Übung
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
MIME-Version: 1.0

RGllcyBpc3QgZWluZSDDnGJ1bmcK

-- just content--
Dies ist eine Übung

== cte: quoted-printable ==

-- full mail --
Subject: Übung
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Dies ist eine =C3=9Cbung

-- just content --
Dies ist eine Übung

######################################################################

So in both cases the subject is fine, but it is unclear to me how to
print the body.  Or rather, I know how to print the body OK, but I don't
know how to print the headers separately - there seems to be nothing
like 'get_headers()'.  I can use 'get('Subject) etc. and reconstruct the
headers, but that seems a little clunky.  

Cheers,

Loris
