In three places in the __unicode__ method there is a
line that looks like this:

if lastcs not in (None, 'us-ascii'):

They will generate a TypeError because lastcs is a
Charset object. This patch fixes this bug by using
(None, Charset('us-ascii')) instead.

Hi Barry,

I think Björn is talking about a problem in the email package.

Note to Björn: the patch does not seem to have made it.
Please try again.

The bug was caused by an optimization in compile.c by
rhettiger. The change was then rolled back so this bug is
not a bug anymore.
