[New-bugs-announce] [issue20121] quopri_codec newline handling

[Fred Stober]

New submission from Fred Stober:

While trying to encode some binary data, I encountered this behaviour of the quopri_codec:

>>> '\r\n\n'.encode('quopri_codec').decode('quopri_codec')
'\r\n\r\n'
>>> '\n\r\n'.encode('quopri_codec').decode('quopri_codec')
'\n\n'

If this behaviour is really intended, it should be mentioned in the documentation that this coded is not bijective.
