LANGUAGE can be None, in which case you should consider VALUE to be
encoded in the us-ascii charset. You can usually ignore LANGUAGE.
+ The parameter value (either the returned string, or the VALUE item in
+ the 3-tuple) is always unquoted, unless unquote is set to False.
- Your application should be prepared to deal with 3-tuple return
- values, and can convert the parameter to a Unicode string like so:
+ If your application doesn't care whether the parameter was RFC 2231
+ encoded, it can turn the return value into a string as follows:
param = msg.get_param('foo')
- if isinstance(param, tuple):
- param = unicode(param[2], param[0] or 'us-ascii')
+ param = email.utils.collapse_rfc2231_value(rawparam)
- In any case, the parameter value (either the returned string, or the
- VALUE item in the 3-tuple) is always unquoted, unless unquote is set
- to False.
