    Research direction

    Start with the attached bug.py reproduction and the EmailMessage.as_string behavior described in the issue. Trace how serialization changes message state and identify the reported bugs before deciding the needed scope. Done means the reproduction no longer alters state and the reported bugs are fixed, with coverage for the demonstrated behavior.
