Summary: API enhancement: poplib.MailReader()

Initial Comment:
When retrieving POP3 mails using poplib, messages are
returned as
list of lines. Converting them to a email.Messages requires
concatinating them into a single string.

I suggest writing a little file-like class wrapper
which may be used for
parsing these type of messages without concatinating
the lines first.
This wrapper may be exposed in the poplib module.

I suggest calling this class 'MailReader', but I would
appreciate better naeming :-)

If this is of interest, I may volunteer writing this
wrapper.

Perhaps the adaptor should be part of the email package
rather than a part of poplib.
