Notification mails cannot handle international chars

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Edit the mails in the control panel
2. Enter for instance a 'å'
3. go through a checkout

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect to see a mail with international chars, same encoding and format as
for instance the mail generated by sendto_form in plone.

The actual error is swallowed at the moment (see previous report). No mail
is sent.

What version of the product are you using? On what version of Plone? How
did you install it (tarball vs buildout vs...)?

trunk, utf-8 plone site, plone 3.2.3

Please provide any additional information below.

I had this same thing happen in my own cart, it turns out that the MailHost was 
choking on the utf-8 characters and it was a simple fix to re-encode the 
message in as quoted-printable.

In Products.PloneGetPaid, in notifications.py in the sendNotification method, 
change 

mailer.send(str(message))

to 

mailer.send(message.encode('utf-8'), encode='quoted-printable')
