<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.
