New submission from Jon Ribbens:
The email module, when creating text parts using character encoding utf-8,
base64-encodes the output even though this is often inappropriate (e.g. if it
is a Western language it is almost never appropriate).
>>> from email.mime.text import MIMEText
>>> m = MIMEText("hello", _charset="utf-8")
>>> m.as_string()
'Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"\nMIME-Version:
1.0\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\naGVsbG8=\n'
