Description

Currently, it's very hard and tedious to assert the content of an email object. Therefore, we want to add a method "body_contains()" to "EmailMultiAlternatives" to check a search string in all available text-based alternatives (content parts, like HTML).

This method can then be easily asserted in any given unit-test.

There's a forum discussion going on about this topic: ​https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/improve-email-unit-testing/32044/1

I've already created a PR for a suggetion: ​https://github.com/django/django/pull/18278/files
