Earlier in Decorate.py there is a line:    msgtype =
msg.get_content_type(), seems pretty much the same thing.

pythonlib/ directory is empty. I see email 2.5.8 gzipped package in
the source misc/ directory, obviously it was not installed by make
install.

Nothing went wrong. It was installation from src that went fine
without any warnings.

Configure was invoked as ./configure --prefix=/home/mailman
--with-mail-gid=mailman --with-cgi-gid=apache --with-mailhost=xxx
with-urlhost=xxx
