- _encoder is a function which will perform the actual encoding for
- transport of the text data. It takes one argument, which is this
- Text instance. It should use get_payload() and set_payload() to
- 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 doesn't actually modify the payload,
- but it does set Content-Transfer-Encoding: to either `7bit' or `8bit'
- as appropriate.
