+        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
+        constructor, which turns them into parameters on the Content-Type
