Research direction

Start by reproducing the 7bit CTE failure in email.contentmanager.raw_data_manager and inspect the email library's existing tests. The issue does not name a file or test, so first locate the bytes handler and its coverage. Done means bytes content is handled correctly when the transfer encoding is 7bit.
