    When initializing a MIMEText instance, it might be desirable to set the _charset parameter to a real Charset instance, not only a charset identifier (for example to pass a Charset with customized body_encoding). Unfortunately, this is failing:

    File ".../django/core/mail/message.py", line 128, in __init__
    MIMEText.__init__(self, text, subtype, charset)
    File "/usr/lib/python3.2/email/mime/text.py", line 29, in __init__
    **{'charset': _charset})
    File "/usr/lib/python3.2/email/mime/base.py", line 25, in __init__
    self.add_header('Content-Type', ctype, **_params)
    File "/usr/lib/python3.2/email/message.py", line 475, in add_header
    parts.append(_formatparam(k.replace('_', '-'), v))
    File "/usr/lib/python3.2/email/message.py", line 67, in _formatparam
    if value is not None and len(value) > 0:
    TypeError: object of type 'Charset' has no len()

    It is possible to later call set_charset, but the payload is already encoded (and 'Content-Transfer-Encoding' is set).
    Did I miss anything?

    I don't think you missed anything. It doesn't look like this has ever worked, but you'd certainly think it would. The documentation doesn't claim anything about it one way or another. That probably means we should treat it as an enhancement rather than a bug fix, but I'm open to argument on that.

    It's fine for me to consider it as an enhancement. The fix might be as simple as replacing **{'charset': _charset} by **{'charset': str(charset)} in MIMEText __init_.
