Yep, this sucks.  The code was written back when we thought this was a  
good idea.  Fixing it requires changes in Python, and it's probably  
too late to get this into Python 2.6 and 3.0.

The best thing I can suggest is to make them public in the LMTP  
subclass, probably using properties that do the name mangling.
