Summary: email.message_from_string: initial line gets discarded
Initial Comment:
If the first line of the string passed to email.message_from_string starts with
whitespace, the line gets discarded. I believe the problem is in the feed
parser, but I don't have a test case to prove that.
The attached file is a short program to illustrate the problem. When I run it I
get the output shown below. The line count should be unchanged in both cases.
leading whitespace :
Body changed: lines in: 3 lines out: 2
left justified :
Line count was preserved.
Platform:
Python 2.5.1
Windows 2000 SP4

It is not legal for the first line of text to start with whitespace. This
makes it look like the message begins with a header continuation.
The first line isn't lost, it's tucked away on the resulting message's
defect list. Try printing 'msg.defects[0].line'.
