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.

- re's findall() and finditer() functions now take an optional flags argument
just like the compile(), search(), and match() functions. Also, documented
the previously existing start and stop parameters for the findall() and
