Package: python2.3 Version: 2.3.5-6 Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream Hi,
The `email' module is according to the documentation the preferred
method to parse/generate a "rfc822-style" text file. It has however
the following bad behaviour which the `rfc822' module did not have :
>>> import email.Message as em
>>> foo = em.Message()
>>> str(foo)
'From nobody Thu Sep 8 22:28:02 2005\n\n'
>>> foo.set_unixfrom("")
>>> str(foo)
'From nobody Thu Sep 8 22:28:02 2005\n\n'
If there's a way to remove the "unixfrom" line I would be glad to hear
from it. Blindly removing the first line from the generated string is
not a solution, as the documentation states that :
There *may* also be a single envelope header, also known as the
Unix-From header or the From_ header.
Emphasis is mine. Cheers,
Laurent.
