[New-bugs-announce] [issue39252] email.contentmanager.raw_data_manager bytes handler breaks on 7bit cte

[Ryan McCampbell]

New submission from Ryan McCampbell <rmccampbell7 at gmail.com>:

The email.contentmanager.set_bytes_content function which handles bytes content for raw_data_manager fails when passed cte="7bit" with an AttributeError: 'bytes' object has no attribute 'encode'. This is probably not a major use case since bytes are generally not for 7-bit data but the failure is clearly not intentional.
