I use MySQL, but sort of intend to learn PostgreSQL. I didn't know that PostgreSQL has no real support for BLOBs. I think it has - BYTEA data type.

So it does; I see that now that I've opened up the PostgreSQL docs. I don't find escaping data to be a problem -- I do it for all untrusted data.

So, after all, there isn't an example of a database that makes onerous the storing of email and other such byte-oriented data, and Python's email package has no need for workarounds in that area.
