Actually, I am thinking of this approach (cloning the message just after 
entering the flatten method):

It works for this bug but apparently it fails one test.

======================================================================
FAIL: test_make_boundary (__main__.TestMessageAPI)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Lib/test/test_email/test_email.py", line 199, in test_make_boundary
    'multipart/form-data; boundary="==')
AssertionError: 'multipart/form-data' != 'multipart/form-data; boundary="=='
- multipart/form-data
+ multipart/form-data; boundary="==

So somehow, according to the ultimate design of email library, msg can not 
leave flatten method unscratched. :)
