<bling!>

Is it too much of a kludge to make __repr__() return the entire
message, including the From_ header, and make __str__() return just
the rfc822 headers and body?  I.e.

repr(msg) == msg.unixfrom + str(msg)

I think this does the trick, as long as ListAdmin and Message.Enqueue
both use repr(msg) instead of str(msg).  Sendmail and SMTPDirect
continue to use str(msg).

I've tested this and it all appears to work.
