[issue4661] email.parser: impossible to read messages encoded in a different encoding

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

A couple of comments:
- what is `str(self.get_param('charset', 'ascii'))` supposed to achieve? does get_param() return a bytes object?
- instead of ascii+surrogateescape, you could simply use latin1
