Well.. I hate to reply to my own post.. but here is an update.. When I flatten a 'mbox' mail message and suck it into a 'email' mail message.. things look fine except that every MIME encoded section has a 'UNIX From' header added to the top of it.... and the From user is set to 'nobody'..
Does anyone know why this 'From' header is added to every MIME encoded section in the body? thanks! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
