+ _encoder is a function which will perform the actual encoding for

+ change the payload to the encoded form. It should also add any
+ Content-Transfer-Encoding or other headers to the message as
+ necessary. The default encoding is Base64.
+
+ Any additional keyword arguments are passed to the base class
