Summary: email: no way to add additional parameter to Content-Type

Initial Comment:
The iCalendar specification (RFC 2445) requires that
iCalendar objects sent via MIME must include a method
parameter in the Content-Type header which mirrors the
method in the iCalendar object.  For example:

Content-Type: text/calendar; method="REQUEST";
charset="UTF-8"

Using Python's email package, it is impossible to
generate a MIMEText which has that method=REQUEST
parameter because the constructor does not allow for
arbitrary parameters, only the subtype and the charset.
