New submission from Hendrik Spiegel:
When creating a MIMEBase object with message/rfc822 mimetype invoking
the objects __str__ method results in an exception.
Even if this behaviour should be intended the error message "TypeError:
Expected list, got <type 'str'>" is not helpful.
To reproduce the problem run the attached script after creating the file
'test.eml' in the script's directory.
mimetype = mimetypes.guess_type(filename)[0]
maintype, subtype = mimetype.split('/')
attachment = MIMEBase(maintype, subtype)
attachment.set_payload(file(filename).read( ))
print attachment
#python MimebaseError.py
