When the new policies are used (and only when the new policies are explicitly used) headers turn into objects that have attributes based on their parsed values, and can be set using objects that encapsulate the values, as well as set directly from unicode strings. The folding algorithm then takes care of encoding unicode where needed, and folding according to the highest level syntactic objects.

With this patch only date and time headers are parsed as anything other than unstructured, but that is all the helper methods in the existing API handle. I do plan to add more parsers, and complete the set specified in the RFC before the package becomes stable.

+.. note::

• The remainder of the classes documented below are included in the standard
• library on a :term:`provisional basis <provisional package>`. Backwards
• incompatible changes (up to and including removal of the feature) may occur
• if deemed necessary by the core developers.

+.. class:: EmailPolicy(**kw)

• This concrete :class:`Policy` provides behavior that is intended to be fully
• compliant with the current email RFCs. These include (but are not limited
• to) :rfc:`5322`, :rfc:`2047`, and the current MIME RFCs.
• This policy adds new header parsing and folding algorithms. Instead of
• simple strings, headers are custom objects with custom attributes depending
• on the type of the field. The parsing and folding algorithm fully implement
• :rfc:`2047` and :rfc:`5322`.
• In addition to the settable attributes listed above that apply to all
• policies, this policy adds the following additional attributes:
• .. attribute:: refold_source

•  If the value for a header in the ``Message`` object originated from a
  

•  :mod:`~email.parser` (as opposed to being set by a program), this
  

•  attribute indicates whether or not a generator should refold that value
  

•  when transforming the message back into stream form.  The possible values
  

•  are:
  

•  ========  ===============================================================
  

•  ``none``  all source values use original folding
  

•  ``long``  source values that have any line that is longer than
  

•            ``max_line_length`` will be refolded
  

•  ``all``   all values are refolded.
  

•  ========  ===============================================================
  

•  The default is ``long``.
  

• .. attribute:: header_factory

•  A callable that takes two arguments, ``name`` and ``value``, where
  

•  ``name`` is a header field name and ``value`` is an unfolded header field
  

•  value, and returns a string-like object that represents that header.  A
  

•  default ``header_factory`` is provided that understands some of the
  

•  :RFC:`5322` header field types.  (Currently address fields and date
  

•  fields have special treatment, while all other fields are treated as
  

•  unstructured.  This list will be completed before the extension is marked
  

•  stable.)
  

• The class provides the following concrete implementations of the abstract
• methods of :class:`Policy`:
• .. method:: header_source_parse(sourcelines)

•  The implementation of this method is the same as that for the
  

•  :class:`Compat32` policy.
  

• .. method:: header_store_parse(name, value)

•  The name is returned unchanged.  If the input value has a ``name``
  

•  attribute and it matches *name* ignoring case, the value is returned
  

•  unchanged.  Otherwise the *name* and *value* are passed to
  

•  ``header_factory``, and the resulting custom header object is returned as
  

•  the value.  In this case a ``ValueError`` is raised if the input value
  

•  contains CR or LF characters.
  

• .. method:: header_fetch_parse(name, value)

•  If the value has a ``name`` attribute, it is returned to unmodified.
  

•  Otherwise the *name*, and the *value* with any CR or LF characters
  

•  removed, are passed to the ``header_factory``, and the resulting custom
  

•  header object is returned.  Any surrogateescaped bytes get turned into
  

•  the unicode unknown-character glyph.
  

• .. method:: fold(name, value)

•  Header folding is controlled by the :attr:`refold_source` policy setting.
  

•  A value is considered to be a 'source value' if and only if it does not
  

•  have a ``name`` attribute (having a ``name`` attribute means it is a
  

•  header object of some sort).  If a source value needs to be refolded
  

•  according to the policy, it is converted into a custom header object by
  

•  passing the *name* and the *value* with any CR and LF characters removed
  

•  to the ``header_factory``.  Folding of a custom header object is done by
  

•  calling its ``fold`` method with the current policy.
  

•  Source values are split into lines using :meth:`~str.splitlines`.  If
  

•  the value is not to be refolded, the lines are rejoined using the
  

•  ``linesep`` from the policy and returned.  The exception is lines
  

•  containing non-ascii binary data.  In that case the value is refolded
  

•  regardless of the ``refold_source`` setting, which causes the binary data
  

•  to be CTE encoded using the ``unknown-8bit`` charset.
  

• .. method:: fold_binary(name, value)

•  The same as :meth:`fold` if :attr:`cte_type` is ``7bit``, except that
  

•  the returned value is bytes.
  

•  If :attr:`cte_type` is ``8bit``, non-ASCII binary data is converted back
  

•  into bytes.  Headers with binary data are not refolded, regardless of the
  

•  ``refold_header`` setting, since there is no way to know whether the
  

•  binary data consists of single byte characters or multibyte characters.
  

+The following instances of :class:`EmailPolicy` provide defaults suitable for +specific application domains. Note that in the future the behavior of these +instances (in particular the ``HTTP` instance) may be adjusted to conform even +more closely to the RFCs relevant to their domains.

+.. data:: default

• An instance of ``EmailPolicy`` with all defaults unchanged. This policy
• uses the standard Python ``\n`` line endings rather than the RFC-correct
• ``\r\n``.

+.. data:: SMTP

• Suitable for serializing messages in conformance with the email RFCs.
• Like ``default``, but with ``linesep`` set to ``\r\n``, which is RFC
• compliant.

+.. data:: HTTP

• Suitable for serializing headers with for use in HTTP traffic. Like
• ``SMTP`` except that ``max_line_length`` is set to ``None`` (unlimited).

+.. data:: strict

• Convenience instance. The same as ``default`` except that
• ``raise_on_defect`` is set to ``True``. This allows any policy to be made
• strict by writing::

•    somepolicy + policy.strict
  

+With all of these :class:`EmailPolicies <.EmailPolicy>`, the effective API of +the email package is changed from the Python 3.2 API in the following ways:

• • Setting a header on a :class:`~email.message.Message` results in that

• header being parsed and a custom header object created.
  

• • Fetching a header value from a :class:`~email.message.Message` results

• in that header being parsed and a custom header object created and
  

• returned.
  

• • Any custom header object, or any header that is refolded due to the

• policy settings, is folded using an algorithm that fully implements the
  

• RFC folding algorithms, including knowing where encoded words are required
  

• and allowed.
  

+From the application view, this means that any header obtained through the +:class:`~email.message.Message` is a custom header object with custom +attributes, whose string value is the fully decoded unicode value of the +header. Likewise, a header may be assigned a new value, or a new header +created, using a unicode string, and the policy will take care of converting +the unicode string into the correct RFC encoded form.

+The custom header objects and their attributes are described below. All custom +header objects are string subclasses, and their string value is the fully +decoded value of the header field (the part of the field after the ``:``)

+.. class:: BaseHeader

• This is the base class for all custom header objects. It provides the
• following attributes:
• .. attribute:: name

•  The header field name (the portion of the field before the ':').
  

• .. attribute:: defects

•  A possibly empty list of :class:`~email.errors.MessageDefect` objects
  

•  that record any RFC violations found while parsing the header field.
  

• .. method:: fold(*, policy)

•  Return a string containing :attr:`~email.policy.Policy.linesep`
  

•  characters as required to correctly fold the header according
  

•  to *policy*.  A :attr:`~email.policy.Policy.cte_type` of
  

•  ``8bit`` will be treated as if it were ``7bit``, since strings
  

•  may not contain binary data.
  

+.. class:: UnstructuredHeader

• The class used for any header that does not have a more specific
• type. (The :mailheader:`Subject` header is an example of an
• unstructured header.) It does not have any additional attributes.

+.. class:: DateHeader

• The value of this type of header is a single date and time value. The
• primary example of this type of header is the :mailheader:`Date` header.
• .. attribute:: datetime

•  A :class:`~datetime.datetime` encoding the date and time from the
  

•  header value.
  

•  The ``datetime`` will be a naive ``datetime`` if the value either does
  

•  not have a specified timezone (which would be a violation of the RFC) or
  

•  if the timezone is specified as ``-0000``.  This timezone value indicates
  

•  that the date and time is to be considered to be in UTC, but with no
  

•  indication of the local timezone in which it was generated.  (This
  

•  contrasts to ``+0000``, which indicates a date and time that really is in
  

•  the UTC ``0000`` timezone.)
  

•  If the header value contains a valid timezone that is not ``-0000``, the
  

•  ``datetime`` will be an aware ``datetime`` having a
  

•  :class:`~datetime.tzinfo` set to the :class:`~datetime.timezone`
  

•  indicated by the header value.
  

• A ``datetime`` may also be assigned to a :mailheader:`Date` type header.
• The resulting string value will use a timezone of ``-0000`` if the
• ``datetime`` is naive, and the appropriate UTC offset if the ``datetime`` is
• aware.

+.. class:: AddressHeader

• This class is used for all headers that can contain addresses, whether they
• are supposed to be singleton addresses or a list.
• .. attribute:: addresses

•  A list of :class:`.Address` objects listing all of the addresses that
  

•  could be parsed out of the field value.
  

• .. attribute:: groups

•  A list of :class:`.Group` objects.  Every address in :attr:`.addresses`
  

•  appears in one of the group objects in the tuple.  Addresses that are not
  

•  syntactically part of a group are represented by ``Group`` objects whose
  

•  ``name`` is ``None``.
  

• In addition to addresses in string form, any combination of
• :class:`.Address` and :class:`.Group` objects, singly or in a list, may be
• assigned to an address header.

+.. class:: Address(display_name='', username='', domain='', addr_spec=None):

• The class used to represent an email address. The general form of an
• address is::

•  [display_name] <username@domain>
  

• or::

•  username@domain
  

• where each part must conform to specific syntax rules spelled out in
• :rfc:`5322`.
• As a convenience *addr_spec* can be specified instead of *username* and
• *domain*, in which case *username* and *domain* will be parsed from the
• *addr_spec*. An *addr_spec* must be a properly RFC quoted string; if it is
• not ``Address`` will raise an error. Unicode characters are allowed and
• will be property encoded when serialized. However, per the RFCs, unicode is
• *not* allowed in the username portion of the address.
• .. attribute:: display_name

•  The display name portion of the address, if any, with all quoting
  

•  removed.  If the address does not have a display name, this attribute
  

•  will be an empty string.
  

• .. attribute:: username

•  The ``username`` portion of the address, with all quoting removed.
  

• .. attribute:: domain

•  The ``domain`` portion of the address.
  

• .. attribute:: addr_spec

•  The ``username@domain`` portion of the address, correctly quoted
  

•  for use as a bare address (the second form shown above).  This
  

•  attribute is not mutable.
  

• .. method:: __str__()

•  The ``str`` value of the object is the address quoted according to
  

•  :rfc:`5322` rules, but with no Content Transfer Encoding of any non-ASCII
  

•  characters.
  

+.. class:: Group(display_name=None, addresses=None)

• The class used to represent an address group. The general form of an
• address group is::

• display_name: [address-list];
  

• As a convenience for processing lists of addresses that consist of a mixture
• of groups and single addresses, a ``Group`` may also be used to represent
• single addresses that are not part of a group by setting *display_name* to
• ``None`` and providing a list of the single address as *addresses*.
• .. attribute:: display_name

•  The ``display_name`` of the group.  If it is ``None`` and there is
  

•  exactly one ``Address`` in ``addresses``, then the ``Group`` represents a
  

•  single address that is not in a group.
  

• .. attribute:: addresses

•  A possibly empty tuple of :class:`.Address` objects representing the
  

•  addresses in the group.
  

• .. method:: __str__()

•  The ``str`` value of a ``Group`` is formatted according to :rfc:`5322`,
  

•  but with no Content Transfer Encoding of any non-ASCII characters.  If
  

•  ``display_name`` is none and there is a single ``Address`` in the
  

•  ``addresses` list, the ``str`` value will be the same as the ``str`` of
  

•  that single ``Address``.
  

There's a lot of new stuff here: should have a versionadded? (Or do we need new markup for "provisional" stuff?)
