MIME encoding of notify mail with non-ascii project name

[Shun-ichi Goto <gotoh@…>]

On creating notify mail, X-Trac-Project: header and From: header use project name. When I use non-ascii project name, mail message will be sent with raw utf-8 bytes value without MIME encoding. This is not good.

First, I've modified like this (but not good):

         msg['Sender'] = self.from_email
         msg['Reply-To'] = self.replyto_email
         msg['To'] = rcpt

X-Trac-Project: header seems be good. But From: header, which is structured header (in rfc2822 context), is so bad because entire value would be encoded.

I don't know right way of using email package to handle structured field like From: field. One easy fix to allow non-ascii project name is changing From: value not to use project name.
