The first trial just used the built-in test routine at the bottom of
mailbox.py, which printed out subjects, senders and dates.  Now I'm
moving on to try and deal with full MIME attachments.  Seems like
what I need is a subclass of UnixMailbox whose new() method returns
an rfc822.Message object created with a multifile.MultiFile argument
rather than the standard mailbox._Subfile.
