R. David Murray added the comment: If all you are changing is headers (and you con't change the CTE), then when you use BytesGenerator to re-serialize the message, it is supposed to preserve the existing CTE/payload. (Whether or not you call get_payload, regardless of arguments, does not matter; get_payload does not modify the Message object...though set_payload does, of course).
If you have a case where the payload is being re-encoded even though you have not changed the content-type or content-transfer-encoding headers or the payload, then that is a bug. Of course, if you use just Generator (which is what str uses), the output message must be in ASCII, so in that case it does indeed transcode 8bit payloads to base64. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18271> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
