Summary: problems printing multipart MIME msg

Initial Comment:
Got this from python-help.  A user there is trying
to use the email 
module to display multipart MIME
messages generated by mutt.  
Attached is a specific
mail message.  Using this simple 
script

>>> import email
>>> f = open("spam1")
>>> 
msg=email.message_from_file(f)
>>> print msg

generates 
this traceback

Known bug related to declared multipart/*'s with just a
single part.  Fixed in CVS (candidate for 2.2.1); also fixed
in the email/mimelib distro.

I'm also seeing this problem, with a newly generated
multipart mime message built up using email.MIMEBase /
email.MIMEText. For me it only occurs intermittently, but
I'm using external data to build my messages and haven't
tried a fixed set of input yet.
