Briefly (from the NEWS file):
- Updates for the email package:
+ All deprecated APIs that in email 2.x issued warnings have been removed:
_encoder argument to the MIMEText constructor, Message.add_payload(),
Utils.dump_address_pair(), Utils.decode(), Utils.encode()
+ New deprecations: Generator.__call__(), Message.get_type(),
Message.get_main_type(), Message.get_subtype(), the 'strict' argument to
the Parser constructor. These will be removed in email 3.1.
+ Support for Python earlier than 2.3 has been removed (see PEP 291).
+ All defect classes have been renamed to end in 'Defect'.
+ Some FeedParser fixes; also a MultipartInvariantViolationDefect will be
added to messages that claim to be multipart but really aren't.
+ Updates to documentation.
Specifically, time.strftime() no longer accepts a 0 in the yday position of a
time tuple, since that can crash some platform strftime() implementations.
parsedate_tz(): Change the return value to return 1 in the yday position.
Update tests in test_rfc822.py and test_email.py
\r\n only get the \n stripped, not the \r (unless it's the last header which
does get the \r stripped). Patch by Tony Meyer.
test_whitespace_continuation_last_header(),
test_strip_line_feed_and_carriage_return_in_headers(): New tests.
_parse_headers(): Be sure to strip \r\n from the right side of header lines.
parser must recognize outer boundaries in inner parts. So cruise through the
EOF stack backwards testing each predicate against the current line.
There's still some discussion about whether this is (always) the best thing to
do. Anthony would rather parse these messages as if the outer boundaries were
ignored. I think that's counter to the RFC, but might be practically more
useful. Can you say behavior flag? (ug).
message/delivery-status clause, and genericize it to handle all (other)
message/* content types. This lets us correctly parse 2 more of Anthony's
MIME torture tests (specifically, the message/external-body examples).
bunch of module globals that aren't used.
__maxheaderlen -> _maxheaderlen
_handle_multipart(): This should be more RFC compliant now, and does match the
updated/fixed semantics for preamble and epilogue.
(standard) tests, and doesn't throw parse errors. I still need throw
Anthony's torture test at it, but I wanted to get this checked in and off my
disk.

patch removes dependencies on the old unsupported KoreanCodecs package
and the alternative JapaneseCodecs package. Since both of those
provide aliases for their codecs, this removal just makes the generic
codec names work.
We needed to make slight changes to __init__() as well.
This will be backported to Python 2.3 when its branch freeze is over.
gets done when maxheaderlen <> 0. The header really gets wrapped via
the email.Header.Header class, which has a more sophisticated
algorithm than just splitting on semi-colons.

Stuart D. Gathman. Specifically,
_parseparam(), _get_params_preserve(): Use the parsing function that
takes quotes into account, as given (essentially) in the bug report's
test program.

long header lines is now (properly) in the Header class. So we no
longer need _split_header() and we'll just defer to Header.encode()
when we have a plain string.
_encode_chunks(): Pass maxlinelen in instead of always using
self._maxlinelen, so we can adjust for shorter initial lines.
Pass this value through to _max_append().
encode(): Weave maxlinelen through to the _encode_chunks() call.
_split_ascii(): When recursively splitting a line on spaces
(i.e. lower level syntactic split), don't append the whole returned
string. Instead, split it on linejoiners and extend the lines up to
the last line (for proper packing). Calculate the linelen based on
the last element in the this list.
part itself is longer than maxlen, and we aren't already splitting on
whitespace, then we recursively split the part on whitespace and
append that to the this list.
