This is to provide a consistent interface (namely bytes) for the smtp backend which after all sends bytes over the wire; encoding with as_string yields different results since mails as unicode are not really specified. as_string stays for backwardscompatibilty mostly and some debug outputs. But keep in mind that the output doesn't match as_bytes!
