Comment (by Claude Paroz):
There's absolutely no reason to encode the content passed to
`EmailMessage`, so even if it was not failing before, I would be against
restoring the previous behavior.
Nonetheless the EmailMessage `__init__` docstring talks about accepting
UTF-8 bytestrings, which should be removed IMO.
Unless someone comes with a compelling use case to allow bytestrings for
`EmailMessage` subject and body. Binary content should be left for
attachments.
