Hm. Should a Header know which header it is? Ie, should that be
message['Subject'] = Header('subject', 'subject string')
? (I assume you would be less than in love with having the assignment
magically stuffing "Subject" into the Header as it gets assigned.)
Hmm. Probably. But:
message.addHeader(Header('subject', 'subject string'))
would seem sensible. That looses the nice collections interface...but
if a Header knows its keyword then it makes sense.
However, I'm not convinced a Header should know its keyword. After all,
the only difference between a From: header and a To: header is the
keyword, and one can easily imagine wanting to do something like:
replymessage['to'] = frommessage['from']
