[issue24797] email.header.decode_header return type is not consistent

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

Right, it's provisional in 3.4.  I'm working on the doc rewrite now (although I suppose there's a chance it won't get accepted for 3.5, I expect it to).

Take a look at https://docs.python.org/3/library/email.policy.html.  Basically, if you use EmailMessage instead of Message (and therefore policy.default instead of policy.compat32) header parsing and decoding is handled for you.
