[New-bugs-announce] [issue25235] EmailMessage.add_attachment() creates parts with spurious MIME-Version header.

[Kai Groner]

New submission from Kai Groner:

Because MIMEPart.add_attachment() creates parts using type(self), EmailMessage.add_attachment() creates parts of type EmailMessage.  This results in a MIME-Version header being added to parts where it isn't needed.
