[New-bugs-announce] [issue4767] email.mime incorrectly documented (or implemented)

[David M. Beazley]

New submission from David M. Beazley <beazley at users.sourceforge.net>:

The documentation describes classes such as

email.mime.MIMEText()
email.mime.MIMEMultipart()
email.mime.MIMEApplication()
etc...

However, it's confusing because none of these classes are actually found 
in email.mime.

Suggest either using the full proper name:

   email.mime.text.MIMEText()

Or just using the short name along with a note saying where it's found:

   MIMEText()
   Defined in email.mime.text.  Further description, blah, blah..

Note:  These classes *are* defined in email.mime in Python 2.6.
