sending email with charset utf-8 but subject is not coded properly

[=?ISO-8859-2?Q?Grzegorz_=A6lusarek?=]

Hi all. I sending email using standard python modules smtplib, email,
coding email in utf but subject of message is not coded properly. In
subject i use my national characters (polish) and after send i get XX in
place these characters.
Here is the code

Message = email.message_from_string(pMessage)
Message.set_charset('utf-8')
Message['From'] = '(e-mail address removed)'
Message['To'] = '(e-mail address removed)'
SMTPServer=smtplib.SMTP(ConfigurationManager.SMTPServer)
SMTPServer.sendmail('(e-mail address removed)','(e-mail address removed)', Message.as_string())

Message looks like this:
Subject: Nowe has³o
\n
\n
Nowe email z haslem......

I looked how smtp serwer see my message and I notice that it looks like
content of the message is convert by BASE64 but not the subject. What
I'm doing wrong? can anyone tell me?

I see no subject in this code.

"If you want to include non-ASCII characters in your email headers, say in
the Subject: or To: fields, you should use the Header class and assign the
field in the Message object to an instance of Header instead of using a
string for the header value."
