[Python-3000] Status of the email package ? (or: email package and unicode)

[Victor Stinner]

Hi,

poplib, imaplib and nntplib are fixed in Python 3.0rc2, cool.

I tested the smtplib module. It looks like <smtp object>.sendmail() requires 
an ASCII message (7 bits).

I tried to use the email package to encode my message. But the problem is that 
I'm unable to use characters different not in the ASCII charset! See the 
reported bugs at:
   http://bugs.python.org/issue4306

Before the Python 3.0 final, we have to test the email package with unicode 
characters! I wrote two small patches, one includes at little test :-)
