[issue20845] email.utils.formataddr encodes incorrectly

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

At the time we introduced this behavior in python3, it was considered an enhancement and thus not suitable for backporting.  So you'd have to advocate for backporting it on python-dev.  My guess is it won't be approved, especially since there are significant other differences in the python2 vs python3 email packages (eg: BytesParser/BytesGenerator).
