Summary: BoundaryError: multipart message with no defined boundary

Initial Comment:
More problems with the email package raising
exceptions when trying to parse non-compliant
messages.

Even when lax parsing is enabled, a BoundaryError
is raised when trying to parse the attached spam
message.

I'd like to see some sort of workaround to handle these
cases more gracefully when when lax parsing is
enabled.

This behavior seems like 'strict' parsing behavior to me.

I'm unclear what you mean by: 
 
``You can always fall back to email.Header.HeaderParser  
when all else fails''

I see what you're saying, Jason, but I don't know how Parser
could do much better.  You can always fall back to
email.Header.HeaderParser when all else fails (well all else
modulo severely broken headers).

As Python 2.3a2 was just released, I'm worried that
this one is going to fall through the cracks before
2.3-final is released which would be unfortunate because
it would mean I'd have to continue bundling my own
copy of email with my applications.
