Summary: rfc822 Deprecated since release 2.3?

Initial Comment:
rfc822.Message is still subclassed by minetool.Message 
and httplib.HTTPMessage. It should either

1. upgrade httplib etc to the email package.
2. or make a note in the rfc822 page that it is still being 
in use
3. or undeprecate rfc822.

rfc822 is currently in a state of PendingPendingDeprecation.
It would have gained a PendingDeprecationWarning in 2.4, but
as you point out, we're still using it in the stdlib. This
is going to be fixed in 2.5 - the stdlib won't be using it
any further.

Nonetheless, the warning on the documentation page saying
"Use email, instead" is still valid. I'd hate for people to
start using rfc822 at this very late stage in it's life.

Marking as 'wontfix'

No, rfc822 is actually not deprecated. It's also used in other parts of the 
stdlib.

Look at the Python-Dev thread from August 2004 "Removing stuff from 
2.4".
