dato: We've started some branches that try to address this, by exposing
both a read-a-buncha-bytes interface and a read-a-string interface.

rdm: As it turns out, yes.  There are use cases for reading a string
containing only ascii bytes.

In general, this is part of the big tricky problem in fixing the email
package for Python 3.x.  We had great debates about this at Pycon with
no resolution, and I think everyone has just been too busy to engage on
this since then. :(

email-sig is the best place to try to rally some effort.
