[New-bugs-announce] [issue27445] Charset instance not passed to set_payload()

[Claude Paroz]

New submission from Claude Paroz:

In issue #16324, I contributed an improvement so as MIMEText __init__ accept Charset instances, not only encoding strings. The use case is from Django where we customize the Charset.body_encoding before passing it to the MIMEText initialization.

Unfortunately, what I didn't notice when Berker adapted my patch is that the Charset is casted to its string representation for the whole method, while I initially intended to let the unchanged Charset passed to self.set_payload. And the test I suggested was not smart enough to detect that.
