[issue3714] nntplib module broken by str to unicode conversion

So, in effect, if we settle for ASCII as the default encoding, then the
attached patch is good enough. Someone should check this in. 
Should it go in py3k, release? Because, without this patch(which is again
simple), nntplib is almost unusable.
