[issue6302] Add decode_header_as_string method to email.utils

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

All of this is going to be fixed a different (better :) way in an upcoming patch that will add a new header parsing/folding policy to the email package.

For the record, the way to spell the "decode a header and return a string" function using the existing API is:

  str(make_header(decode_header(<someheader>)))
