Mailman installs it's own Python email library in pythonlib/email/ and
sets paths so that this library is used in preference to the one in
the Python install.

Mailman 2.1.9 ships with email 2.5.8. The email 2.5.x version at the
time of Barry's comment was 2.5.6. I don't know if the change that
eliminates the None payloads is in email 2.5.8 or not.

I'm inclined to not omit the "not part" test, but rather to change it
in one of the two ways I suggested in
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2006-December/054934.html>.
