New submission from Christian Tanzer:
For an email message with `Content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8`, in Python 3.5, get_payload returns a bytes object encoded with `latin-1`. Python 2.7 returns a str object encoded with `utf-8` as expected.
Running the attached test script `email_get_payload__test.py` with Python 2.7 and 3.5 shows the difference.
Python 2.7::
2.7.10.final.0 *** utf8 ***

In both Python versions, `msg.get_content_charset()` returns None, which is not correct, either.
