The email package and KLEZ mails

[Gerson Kurz]

I'm using the email module (new in Python 2.2) to analyze messages for
spam and HTML content. However, I get exceptions when analyzing KLEZ
generated mails, which is disappointing since I'm trying to filter
them in the first place. 

Anyway, the callstack boils down to:

  File "C:\Python22\lib\email\Parser.py", line 81, in _parseheaders
    raise Errors.HeaderParseError( 'Not a header, not a continuation:
"%s"' % line)
HeaderParseError: Not a header, not a continuation:
"--X675I6X36yZg9J7wg290j"

Note that I manually added the "%s" bit to the source of Parser.py, to
see what exactly causes the error, the rest of the file is unchanged.
Now, when I look at the email headers, they look something like this:

and the email package seems to be missing the correct boundary syntax.
