Problem with body of email

See original GitHub issue

Hi, I want to use mailmerge cause you made a great job. But I have a problem with the body of the template. Instead of :

`ATTACHMENT: classes/{{classe}}.xls

Bonjour {{name}},

En tant que PP de la classe de {{classe}}, je t’envoie la liste des codes rÃ©seau de tes eleves. C’est ce code qu’ils utilisent pour ouvrir une session sur les ordinateurs du lycee. A toi de les distribuer s’ils ne les ont pas deja.

Cordialement,

` I have :

@llenlewag no changes should be needed. You are writing in French which includes characters not in the base ascii set. These characters get encoded for transmission because the email transmission standards pre-date allowing “special” characters. Base64 is one of those encodings. (This is the short story, it is more nuanced).

Send yourself a test email with the --no-dry-run option and with your address as the first one in your database. You should see the text exactly as expected, en Francais. Almost all mail readers in use today will automatically decode these messages for display. Anyone using one that doesn’t is almost certainly choosing that on purpose and has an alternative rendering system set up.

Ok. Thx So I need to change something to have my real text in the email? I tested to send it and I receive the text in base 64 but I’m sure that my workmates will decode it.
