With Policy = email.policy.default, there are handlers for get_content() only for content types 'text', 'audio', 'image', 'video', 'application', 'message/rfc822', 'message/external-body' and 'message'. While these are the only main types listed in RFC 6838, RFC 8081 adds 'font' and RFC 2077 defines 'model' there are several registered 'font' and 'model' types at https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml

It would be good if get_content() returned content, even if only raw bytes, for those types.
