There is no longer a concept of a separate 'email' release from the stdlib release.  The __version__ string didn't get updated in either 3.3 or 3.4 (my fault).  I propose that we simply delete the __version__ variable from __init__.py (patch attached).

Any objections?

Looks like a safe change. There is only one user in all Debian sources, and it's on Python 2:

http://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=email.__version__

When I ported Mailman 3 to Python 3.5 I had to remove the check on email.__version__ :)
