(Contributed by Claudiu Popa in :issue:`17818`.) +email +----- + +:meth:`~email.message.Message.as_string` now accepts a *policy* argument to +override the default policy of the message when generating a string +representation of it. This means that ``as_string`` can now be used in more +circumstances, instead of having to create and use a :mod:`~email.generator` in +order to pass formatting parameters to its ``flatten`` method. + +New method :meth:`~email.message.Message.as_bytes` added to produce a bytes +representation of the message in a fashion similar to how ``as_string`` +produces a string representation. It does not accept the *maxheaderlen* +argument, but does accept the *unixfrom* and *policy* arguments. The +:class:`~email.message.Message` :meth:`~email.message.Message.__bytes__` method +calls it, meaning that ``bytes(mymsg)`` will now produce the intuitive +result: a bytes object containing the fully formatted message. + +(Contributed by R.
