So on further investigation, with the new API and policy=SMTP, it does generate
correct base64 output. So I guess on the basis that the new version can
generate the right output, and it appears to be a deliberate choice that the
default policy breaks the RFCs, you can close this issue ;-)
>>> from email.message import EmailMessage
>>> from email.policy import SMTP
>>> import base64
>>> msg = EmailMessage(policy=SMTP)
>>> msg.set_content("hello\nthere", cte="base64")
>>> msg.as_string()
'Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"\r\nContent-Transfer-Encoding:
base64\r\nMIME-Version: 1.0\r\n\r\naGVsbG8NCnRoZXJlDQo=\r\n'
>>> base64.b64decode("aGVsbG8NCnRoZXJlDQo=")
b'hello\r\nthere\r\n'
