171 are converted to their `official' email names (e.g. latin_1
172 is converted to iso-8859-1). Defaults to 7-bit us-ascii.

177 base64 encoding), or Charset.SHORTEST for the shortest of
178 QP or BASE64 encoding. Otherwise, it will be None.
180 body_encoding: Same as header_encoding, but describes the encoding for the
181 mail message's body, which indeed may be different than the
182 header encoding. Charset.SHORTEST is not allowed for
183 body_encoding.
185 output_charset: Some character sets must be converted before the can be
186 used in email headers or bodies. If the input_charset is
187 one of them, this attribute will contain the name of the
188 charset output will be converted to. Otherwise, it will
189 be None.
191 input_codec: The name of the Python codec used to convert the
192 input_charset to Unicode. If no conversion codec is
193 necessary, this attribute will be None.
195 output_codec: The name of the Python codec used to convert Unicode
196 to the output_charset. If no conversion codec is necessary,
197 this attribute will have the same value as the input_codec.
