Regardless of whether or not this patch or a descendant thereof is accepted I still intend to continue working on email6.  There are many other bugs in the current email package that require a rewrite of parts of its infrastructure, and the email-sig is agreed that the email API needs revision quite apart from the bytes/string issues.  However, there is something pleasing about the simplicity of this way of handling bytes that I intend to consider carefully while we work further on email6.

And how would this addition interact with changes in email6?
