[XML-SIG] smtpLib and xml_instance?

[Jason Michael Jurkowski]

the print statement invokes the str() method of the object provided to it.
the str() method is providing the character data for that object.
i'm not familiar with the gnosis code but if CDATA is a 'CDATASection
Object' you want to assign PCDATA.data to toaddrs and pass that into the
smtplib code.
