I think learning a language from the documentation is an unreasonable
expectation and burden for the authors.
Buy a book, take a class, they are designed to provide you with a path from
start to finish in a sensible manner, the documentation in my opinion is
supposed to be a reference and a ref

Can someone explain to me why I can't set the charset after the fact and still
have it work.
For example:
>>> text = MIMEText('❤¥'.encode('utf-8'), 'html')
>>> text.set_charset('utf-8')
>>> text.as_string()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in

11, which is what I expected. But I changed the byte value to 16 (because I
was having trouble getting single digit hex values working in the command) and

After a fair amount of troubleshooting of why my lists were coming
