Well, perhaps not "lots" -- just several simple errors.

What you probably want to do is something more like this:
data = fd1.read()
parts = string.split (data, '\0')
sender = parts[0]
recips = parts[1:-1]
This reads the whole contents of the envelope into the "data" variable.
Then it uses string.split() to separate out the parts bound by ASCII NUL
-- since the file ends with two NULs, there will be an empty part at the
end. The sender is the first ([0]), and the recipients are 1 through
N-1 (skip the last empty one).
To write it out again, do something like:
fd1.write (sender + '\0')
for recip in recips:
fd1.write (recip + '\0')
fd1.write ('\0')

Yes, the lines still have their linefeeds when you read them in with
readlines(). If you really want to lose them, do something like:
lines = map (lambda x: x[-1] == '\n' and x[:-1] or x, lines)
after readlines().

You probably want something more like:
out, in = popen2.popen2 (command)
in.write (message)
in.close ()
commandoutput = out.read ()
But see the docs for popen2 for more details.

I had a look; good luck.
