compliant email messages, which not only provides customized header objects for

<p>When using any of the policy objects derived from

<a class="reference internal" href="email.policy.html#email.policy.EmailPolicy" title="email.policy.EmailPolicy"><code class="xref py py-data docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">EmailPolicy</span></code></a>, all headers are produced by

|
||
class. Each header class has an additional base class that is determined by

the type of the header. For example, many headers have the class

<a class="reference internal" href="#email.headerregistry.UnstructuredHeader" title="email.headerregistry.UnstructuredHeader"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">UnstructuredHeader</span></code></a> as their other base class. The specialized second

table stored in the <a class="reference internal" href="#email.headerregistry.HeaderRegistry" title="email.headerregistry.HeaderRegistry"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">HeaderRegistry</span></code></a>. All of this is managed

transparently for the typical application program, but interfaces are provided

for modifying the default behavior for use by more complex applications.</p>

should be the string value for the header (that is, the header value fully

method if it wishes to set additional attributes beyond those provided by
|

<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">BaseHeader</span></code> itself. Such an <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">init</span></code> method should look like this:</p>
