Éric pointed out that given that the default was documented as None, someone
would reasonably pass that to get the default behavior. In fixing the code to
use None, I noticed that the change to _charset was being done after it had
already been passed to MIMENonMultipart. The change to the test verifies that
the order is now correct.
Previously it would just accept the unicode, which would wind up as unicode in
the transfer-encoded message object, which is just wrong.

number of tests, all because of the codecs/_multibytecodecs issue described
here (it's not a Py3K issue, just something Py3K discovers):
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/064051.html
Hye-Shik Chang promised to look for a fix, so no need to fix it here. The
tests that are expected to break are:
test_codecencodings_cn
test_codecencodings_hk
test_codecencodings_jp
test_codecencodings_kr
test_codecencodings_tw
test_codecs
test_multibytecodec
This merge fixes an actual test failure (test_weakref) in this branch,
though, so I believe merging is the right thing to do anyway.
