[David Graf <david.graf@xxxxxxxxxx>]

David Graf has proposed merging lp:~davidagraf/zorba/email-module-fixes into lp:zorba/email-module.

Requested reviews:
  Alexander Kreutz (kreutz)
  Dennis Knochenwefel (dennis-knochenwefel)
  David Graf (davidagraf)

For more details, see:
https://code.launchpad.net/~davidagraf/zorba/email-module-fixes/+merge/112051

Several email module fixes:
- case insensitive email attribute comparison
- catch more attachment filenames
- don't create empty recipients and email tags
- fixed typos
- made constant for namespace prefix
- introduced default mime charset
- remove newlines from base64 that comes from uw-imap
- if email content is quoted-printable encoded and the content type binary, it needs to be encoded into base64
- fixed content type check
- decode all email headers
- non-ascii (non encoded) chars are not allowed in email headers -> we ignore them
- added missing namespaces
