smtplib documentation of mail_options/rcpt_options does not cover key-value case

smtplib's sendmailand send_message support the arguments mail_options and rcpt_options which both take a list of ESMTP options. However, the documentation does only describe the single word case not the key-value case.

The caller may pass a list of ESMTP options (such as 8bitmime) to be used in MAIL FROM commands as mail_options. ESMTP options (such as DSN commands) that should be used with all RCPT commands can be passed as rcpt_options.

To determine the correct format, users need to read the library source code. Maybe this could directly be extended to:

The caller may pass a list of ESMTP options as strings (such as "8bitmime") to be used in MAIL FROM commands as mail_options. ESMTP options (such as DSN commands) that should be used with all RCPT commands can be passed as rcpt_options (such as "NOTIFY=SUCCESS,FAILURE").

先查看 smtplib 中关于 sendmail 和 send_message 的文档，然后将 mail_options 和 rcpt_options 的描述与库源代码进行比较。当文档清楚地描述独立的 ESMTP 选项和键值选项，并提供类似 NOTIFY=SUCCESS,FAILURE 的示例时，工作即完成。
