Email 5.1
=========
The email package is extended to be able to parse and generate email messages
in bytes format.
* New functions :func:`~email.message_from_bytes` and
:func:`~email.message_from_binary_file`, and new classes
:class:`~email.parser.BytesFeedParser` and :class:`~email.parser.BytesParser`
allow binary message data to be parsed into model objects.
* Given bytes input to the model, :meth:`~email.message.Message.get_payload`
will by default decode a message body that has a
:mailheader:`Content-Transfer-Encoding` of `8bit` using the charset specified
in the MIME headers and return the resulting string.
* Given bytes input to the model, :class:`~email.generator.Generator` will
convert message bodies that have a :mailheader:`Content-Transfer-Encoding` of
8bit to instead have a 7bit Content-Transfer-Encoding.
* New class :class:`~email.generator.BytesGenerator` produces bytes
as output, preserving any unchanged non-ASCII data that was
present in the input used to build the model, including message bodies
with a :mailheader:`Content-Transfer-Encoding` of 8bit.
(Proposed and implemented by R. David Murray, :issue:`4661`.)
