Some input from Mark Crispin (who wrote that bit about message-ID normalization in RFC 5256): no-fold-quote does not exist in the current specification (RFC 5322) [which obsoletes 2822 - wcj]. I don't know why you think that the brackets should be removed in no-fold-literal. The brackets

I should point out that I also store lots of metadata in the registered MIME format text/rfc822-headers (defined in RFC 1892), data that doesn't necessarily conform to the specific set of headers mentioned in RFC822. It would be nice if the header support in the email package would also support

[Email-SIG] which email package for Python 2.3 / 2.4 / 2.5?

2006-11-10 Thread Bill Janssen
Hi, Barry. I'm working with a system that has to work on Python 2.3, 2.4, and 2.5 (and eventually 2.6). It parses email messages and does various things with them. However, it seems that Python 2.3, 2.4, and 2.5 all have mutually incompatible email packages, mainly due to re-packaging and
