Big email 3.0 API changes, with updated unit tests and documentation.
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.

The \module{email} package provides some convenient encodings in its
\module{Encoders} module. These encoders are actually used by the
-\class{MIMEImage} and \class{MIMEText} class constructors to provide default
