New submission from TommyLike Hu <tommylik...@gmail.com>:
Email module is used for email message decode and encode, if the header content
is gb2312 encoded for example "中文", by design we would finally have a rfc-2047
encoded header as below:
```
=?eucgb2312_cn?b?1tDOxA==?=
```
the test script is as below:
```
from email import header, charset
h = header.make_header([(str("中文").encode("gb2312"),
charset.Charset("gb2312"))])
print(h.encode())
```
My question is why don't we use "gb2312" as the charset in rfc-2047 encoded
string, considering the "eucgb2312_cn" is only python awareness.
Thanks
