However, as a last peep from me before i'll burn to ashes, and now with all 
fresh Python 3.2rc2+ all through, i do want to ask a question.

I'm still not finished with my broken thing, so the usual exception still 
occurs in respect to the malformed spam mail which made its way into 
Lib/test/test_mailbox.py - this is still my fault.  The thing i want to point 
out is that the target mailbox will end with these lines after the program 
fails:

Shouldn't this be suppressed?  Or, otherwise, shouldn't

[> Status: RO]
[> Content-Length: 0]
[> Lines: 0]

be appended in case of an exception?  The current result does not comply to 
<http://qmail.org./man/man5/mbox.html> (which is linked by 
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4155>).  mutt(1) is still capable to open it (it 
modifies the mailbox as shown above, including bracket lines), but i don't know 
if that applies to all mail-clients out there.
