This is a catch-all issue for improving the email package's handling of unicode.  For now, please add issues/problems you find with email & unicode to this tracker item.

For example:

MIMEText()'s first argument should accept a unicode if _charset is also given.  It should not be necessary to manually encode the first argument into an 8-bit string.
