[issue1561] py3k: test_mailbox fails on Windows

[Paul Moore]

Paul Moore added the comment:

I believe that mailbox.py is expected to work with files opened in
binary mode. A long time ago I opened a bug on th email package
(http://bugs.python.org/issue586899) which turned out to be because
mailbox.py required binary mode files. The conclusion was that it
wouldn't be fixed (mainly because I couldn't work out a reasonable patch).

I could look again, but I doubt I'll be any better able to work out what
to do now...
