[New-bugs-announce] [issue6521] Contradictory documentation for email.mime.text.MIMEText

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr>:

It is not obvious whether encoding of an unicode argument will happen or
not:

« [...] No guessing or encoding is performed on the text data.

Changed in version 2.4: The previously deprecated _encoding argument has
been removed. Encoding happens implicitly based on the _charset argument. »
