return_statement: return payload
docstring: Return a reference to the payload.
  
          The payload will either be a list object or a string.  If you mutate
          the list object, you modify the message's payload in place.  Optional
          i returns that index into the payload.
  
          Optional decode is a flag indicating whether the payload should be
          decoded or not, according to the Content-Transfer-Encoding header
          (default is False).
  
          When True and the message is not a multipart, the payload will be
          decoded if this header's value is `quoted-printable' or `base64'.  If
          some other encoding is used, or the header is missing, or if the
          payload has bogus data (i.e. bogus base64 or uuencoded data), the
          payload is returned as-is.
  
          If the message is a multipart and the decode flag is True, then None
          is returned.
