I may take it as a challenge to write the view but I don't know if I can
handle it. I'm still learning how to program C for Python. It may be a
good opportunity to learn more. If you don't mind that it may take
longer and if somebody could lend me a hand ... :]

I don't see additional failing unit tests. My patch had an issue but I
fixed it couple of days ago. Maybe you can't remember the fix.

I can't assign bugs with my current user level but I added you to the
nosy list.

test_mail fails because the file Lib/email/test/data/msg_15.txt contains
an invalid UTF-8 character in "Da dit postl¾sningsprogram". The text
looks like something should fail:

    def test_same_boundary_inner_outer(self):
        unless = self.failUnless
        msg = self._msgobj('msg_15.txt')
        # XXX We can probably eventually do better
        inner = msg.get_payload(0)
        unless(hasattr(inner, 'defects'))
        self.assertEqual(len(inner.defects), 1)
        unless(isinstance(inner.defects[0],
                          errors.StartBoundaryNotFoundDefect))
