[Michael Henry]

New submission from Michael Henry <python at drmikehenry.com>:

The attached test program, test_email_attach_to_string.py, demonstrates the
desire for email.message.Message.attach to raise a more helpful exception when
the user incorrectly invokes attach() after setting the payload to a string.
