This is more RFC compliant (see issue) and fixes a problem with
signature verifiers rejecting the part when signed. There is some
amount of backward compatibility concern here since it changes
the output, but the RFC issue coupled with fixing the problem
with signature verifiers seems worth the small risk of breaking
code that depends on the current incorrect output.
base64 transfer-encoded payload *after* decoding it; it no longer does.
email had a special method in utils, _bdecode, specifically to do this,
so it must have served a purpose at some point, yet it is clearly wrong
per RFC. Fixed with Barry's approval, but no backport. Email package
minor version number is bumped, now version 4.0.1.

message/rfc822 it turns it into an object whose body consists of
a list containing a single Message object. HeaderParser, on the
other hand, just copies the body as a string. Generator.flatten
has a special handler for the message mime type that expected the
body to be the one item list. This fails if the message was parsed
by HeaderParser. So we now check to see if the body is a string
first, and if so just we just emit it.
headers in multipart/signed MIME parts, which fixes one of the sources of
invalid modifications to such parts by Generator. Patch and tests by

SF bug #1403349 solution for email 3.0; some MUAs use the 'file' parameter
name in the Content-Distribution header, so Message.get_filename() should fall
back to using that. Will port to the Python 2.5 trunk.
Also, bump the email package version to 3.0.1 for eventual release. Of
course, add a test case too.
XXX Need to update the documentation.
caused by a self._input.readline() call that wasn't checking for the
NeedsMoreData marker.
msg_43.txt contains a message that illustrates the problem, when
email.message_from_*() is called. That interface uses the Parser API, which
splits reads into 8192 byte chunks. It so happens that for the test message,
the 8192 chunk falls inside a message/delivery-status, which is where in the
FeedParser the readline() call was that didn't check for NeedsMoreData.
I also added an assert to unreadline() so it'll be more evident if an attempt
to push back NeedsMoreData ever happens again.
Bump the email package version number.
Briefly (from the NEWS file):
- Updates for the email package:
+ All deprecated APIs that in email 2.x issued warnings have been removed:
_encoder argument to the MIMEText constructor, Message.add_payload(),
Utils.dump_address_pair(), Utils.decode(), Utils.encode()
+ New deprecations: Generator.__call__(), Message.get_type(),
Message.get_main_type(), Message.get_subtype(), the 'strict' argument to
the Parser constructor. These will be removed in email 3.1.
+ Support for Python earlier than 2.3 has been removed (see PEP 291).
+ All defect classes have been renamed to end in 'Defect'.
+ Some FeedParser fixes; also a MultipartInvariantViolationDefect will be
added to messages that claim to be multipart but really aren't.
+ Updates to documentation.
binary distros (read RPMs) don't include the test module in their
standard Python package. This eliminates an external dependency and
closes SF bug # 650441.
