I'm not able to reproduce this using Python 2.7 and Django 1.6, with the unicode body you reported (and a simple subject string).

Could you provide the status_code and response attributes from the MandrillAPIError, so we can see why Mandrill is failing the send call? (You may also find relevant info in the Mandrill console, under Settings > API Logs -- they show the last 100 failed calls.)

Thanks for pointing out the API Logs.. closing as invalid.
