[issue18886] BytesGenerator does not handle 'binary' CTE correctly

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

cte binary has nothing to do with headers (other than appearing as the value of the content-transfer-encoding header).  It is about how the body of the email is handled.  ByteGenerator needs to be modified to not do anything with a payload whose cte is binary other than write it to the output stream as bytes.  This of course means it is ignoring max_line_length...so it is an interesting question whether or not CTE binary should be supported if max_line_length is anything other than 0/None.
