Try to build a Message in compliance with RFC3156 [0], and send it via Gmail APIs (I'm using the python client implementation).
What I get is: in my Gmail box, the message is correctly sent (I see exactly the message I built before)·
What my receivers get is: a "multipart/mixed" message with the same payload of the message I sent.
It seems, at some point, Gmail changes my Content-Type ... is this true?
As workaround, I'm using a SMTP connection (which acts like I expect, sends the message correctly), but in the future I would like to avoid this step in favor of a pure Gmail APIs application.
Can you please confirm or not this issue?
