US-ASCII characters

The usual behavior of the EmailMessage class regarding its subject is to
keep it as it is if i contains only US-ASCII characters and to encode it
as quoted-printable if it contains non US-ASCII characters.
That works well and avoid our emails to be considered as pishing by
antispam from email servers
But in the specific context of translations there is a bug -> if the
subject of an email is translated into another language (through the
built-in django translations tools) and contains non US-ASCII characters,
by an mechanism I didn't catch, the subject is encoded as base64 and not
quoted-printable.
This results in being considered as spam by the email servers (tested on
Gandi and Gmail)...
