emailcompat32crlf 1.0.3

Email policies

We patch the Compat32 policy class and its compat32 instance. There are other policies, like the EmailPolicy class (using \n as line separator) and its SMTP instance (using \r\n as line separator). We do not touch those.

Quoting from the email.policy documentation:

• There is a default policy used by all classes in the email package. For all of the parser classes and the related convenience functions, and for the Message class, this is the Compat32 policy, via its corresponding pre-defined instance compat32. This policy provides for complete backward compatibility (in some cases, including bug compatibility) with the pre-Python3.3 version of the email package.

• The default value for the policy keyword to EmailMessage is the EmailPolicy policy, via its pre-defined instance default.

Why patch the standard lib, instead of fixing your own code?

Because to fix your own code, you’d have to ensure to override the default policy in every single instantiation of every Message or MIMEText or any of the other constructors which default to the compat32 policy without carriage returns.

Instead, you now can simply add emailcompat32crlf to your project dependencies and import it. Done.

If you are using Plone: we register an autoinclude entry point, so you do not even need to import it.
