I (think I) wrote that code, and I'm certainly hazy on many parts of the
email package and the parsers. I didn't know that the above was possible (I
suspected something like it, but couldn't figure it out).
+1 to checking this in.
(I think that setPayload in spambayes.Message could then also do this, so
I'll look into that after this has been checked in a works :)
