The basic additional API is that a 'source' attribute contains the text the generator read from the input source, and a 'value' attribute that contains the value with all the Content-Transfer-Encoding stuff undone so that you have a real unicode string. By changing a policy setting, you can have that value as the string value of the header. You can also assign a string with non-ASCII characters to a header, and the right thing will happen. (Well, eventually it will happen...right now it only works correctly for unstructured headers). Further, Date headers have a datetime attribute (and accept being set to a datetime), and address headers have attributes for accessing the individual addresses in the header. Other structured headers will eventually grow additional attributes as well.
This all sounds pretty awesome, congrats :-)
Has the header wrapping bug that was all part of the big headers mess been resolved now?
cheers,
Chris
