That's difficult to say. Python 2.2.2 will restore the 2.1 behaviour,
for compatibility. This may not be strictly in compliance with all
applicable RFCs, but the 2.2 multifile fixes were causing other
problems.

So it has been decided that multifile stays as it is; users wishing to
process MIME properly should use the email package.
