AFAIK, this isn't used outside of TimS's code.

Outlook intends moving here, but I'm still not sure the pain is worth the
gain at this stage.

I think email.Message could be an internal implementation detail of
message.Message. I think we need a clear API for message.Message, including
all transformations to and from "external" representations, and clear
semantics for the object once "transformed" from the Outside world. I
believe it is in these transformations that the oft mentioned "choke point"
for handling badly formed mail must live. Also, as I mentioned, I am
semi-keen to try falling back to rfc822 when email.Message chokes, just for
the ascii.
Mark.
