_text is the string for this message object.
_subtype is the MIME sub content type, defaulting to "plain".
_charset is the character set parameter added to the Content-Type
header. This defaults to "us-ascii". Note that as a side-effect, the
Content-Transfer-Encoding header will also be set.
The use of the _encoder is deprecated. The encoding of the payload,
and the setting of the character set parameter now happens implicitly
based on the _charset argument. If _encoder is supplied, then a
DeprecationWarning is used, and the _encoder functionality may
override any header settings indicated by _charset. This is probably
not what you want.
