Just appending a message as a raw file to a mailbox, doesn't properly add it as a new message. You need to add a From: line to the front, and then go through the message and alter any line that begins as "From:" (and possibly any line that begins with something like ">From:" or ">>From:" depending on which mailbox format is being used. There may be a few other small details that needs to happen to. -- Richard Damon -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
