kxroberto <kxrobe...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

I think really ill/strange is that kind of item _assignments_  do _add_ 
multiple.

If   msg[field] = xy    would just add-first/replace-frist , and only 
msg.add_xxxx/.append(field, xy)  would  add multiples that would be clear and 
understandable/readable. 
(The sophisticated check dictionary is unnecessary IMHO, I don't expect the 
class to be ever smart enough for a full RFC checklist.)

e.g. I remember a bug like

msg[field] = xy
if special_condition:
     msg[field] = abc   # just wanted a alternative


Never ever expected a double header here!

"="  with adding behavior is absurd IMHO. Certainly doesn't allow readable code.
