I'm not sure what it is you're asking. Does this answer your question?

>>> import email.message
>>> m = email.message.Message()
>>> m.set_payload("""A few lines
... of 7-bit text
...
... No high bit characters.
... """, 'us-ascii')
>>> print m.as_string()
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

A few lines
of 7-bit text

No high bit characters.
