We have to be able to concatenate headers (eg. "Content-Type: image/fish\nMIME-Version: 1.0\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n") and encoded data (eg. "R0lGO"). Attached patch implements this fix: encode_base64() returns str (and not bytes). The patchs fixes the unit tests and adds a new regression test for MIMEImage.as_string().

Yes, in the email module, the payload is an unicode string, not a 
bytes string. We have to be able to concatenate headers 
(eg. "Content-Type: image/fish\nMIME-Version: 
1.0\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n") and encoded data
