Bug Description

On Python 3.6, the default value for the 'decode_data' argument in smtpd.SMTPServer changed from True to False. As a result, process_message() gets bytestrings instead of unicode strings and the email.message_from_string() converter fails.

A fix is attached. This parameter was not available in Python 3.4, so the attached patch detects the Python version and sets the parameter if necessary.

I think it would be better to pass decode_data=False as of 3.5 and handle the changed process_message signature. I'm preparing a merge proposal to that effect.
