Summary: email: problems generating multipart msg

Initial Comment:
As reported in comp.lang.python, the example program 
given in Doc/lib/email.tex to wrap up a whole 
directory as a MIME message doesn't work if the 
directory is empty or contains only a single file.

As that script is fairly long, I've attached a 
shorter example script which also demonstrates the 
bug; coincidentally, I hit it yesterday at work.
The script crashes with:

  File 
"/data/python2/dist/src/Lib/email/Generator.py", line 
236, in _handle_multipart
    for part in msg.get_payload():
  File "/data/python2/dist/src/Lib/email/Message.py", 
line 152, in __getitem__
    return self.get(name)
  File "/data/python2/dist/src/Lib/email/Message.py", 
line 215, in get
    name = name.lower()
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'lower'
