Done now.  The only thing that required being awake was figuring out
what to use instead of get_content_[main]type(), which are new in the
2.3 email package.

This requires Python 2.2.1 -- the original Python 2.2 won't do, as it
doesn't have True and False, and there are tons of these.  (I didn't
go the way of a "compatibility" module -- it didn't seem worth it,
since the majority of changes were adding "from __future__ import
generators" and you can't import that from another module.)

Caveat: I haven't tried every tool with Python 2.2.1.  But I grepped
every file for yield, enumerate and get_content_, and I ran timcv.py
and hammie.py, which are the ones I actually know how to use.
