[issue4661] email.parser: impossible to read messages encoded in a different encoding

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

The 'str' around get_param shouldn't be there, that was left over from an earlier version of the patch.

I use surrogateescape rather than latin1 because using surrogateescape with ascii encoding gives me a reliable way to know whether or not the original source was bytes containing non-ascii chars.  (If it was bytes containing only ascii chars, then it doesn't matter what the original source was.)
