py3: work around weird handling of bytes/unicode in decode_header() Basically decode_header() works as follows, and on Python 3, email headers ARE UNICODE. def decode_header(header): if not ecre.search(header): # ecre is unicode regexp return [(header, None)] # so header is unicode string ... decode header into [(bytes_data, unicode_charset_name)] return collapsed

py3: use system string to access email headers

py3: fix string issues of email message in test-import.t - payload can be bytes - headers must be unicode on Python 3 - need to call msg.as_bytes() on Python 3, but msg.as_string() on Python 2, where bytes(msg) magic works
