Encoding message part

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The Message.part() method encodes message only if it is TEXT but not HTML. I'd 
like to add to my template the HTML view (I'll use HTML5lib based sanitizer 
http://github.com/riffm/insanities-testing/blob/master/insanities/utils/html.py 
to clean HTML)/ But I cant get decoded part from message with existing methods.

Maybe adding encode flag to Message.part() method is a good solution? It would 
not hurt any existing code.

I'm trying to remember why I gave this behaviour to the 'part' method :-| 

I did leave a comment mentioning that the html encoding could be specified in 
the html part it self, meaning that the decoding of the part should be done 
further up in the code (for instance at the view level)... I browsed the mime 
RFC but was not able to find a solid reason to do this. Please let this age a 
bit, to see if we can find a good answer.

I'm going to add a 'force_decode' flag to the 'part' method. I'm interested in 
your efforts to sanitize the html, if you have success let me know! In 
webpymail I'm thinking about creating a tag where this will be done, something 
like:

{% sanitize_html_part <message> <part> %} 

I've found this question in stack overflow that might help:
