+ Unless the ``_charset`` parameter is explicitly set to ``None``, the
+ MIMEText object created will have both a :mailheader:`Content-Type` header
+ with a ``charset`` parameter, and a :mailheader:`Content-Transfer-Endcoding`
+ header. This means that a subsequent ``set_payload`` call will not result
+ in an encoded payload, even if a charset is passed in the ``set_payload``
+ command. You can "reset" this behavior by deleting the
+ ``Content-Transfer-Encoding`` header, after which a ``set_payload`` call
+ will automatically encode the new payload (and add a new
+ :mailheader:`Content-Transfer-Encoding` header).
