email.Message was dropped in python3.

from email.Message import Message

now fails.  Changing email.Message to email.message seems to be all that's needed.

Note that email.message works (and is the preferred spelling) since Python2.5.

Agreed, but email.Message was never marked deprecated so there's likely old code out there that's never been updated (which is how I ran into this).  This would be, I think, a very low risk transformation to apply.

It this still relevant? Presumably anyone who was going to be broken has been broken by now and moved to lower case message.

Ah sorry this is about adding a 2to3 fixer. I thought the request was to put Message back in __all__. 

A fixer may still be relevant.

I've added a PR with this fixer, which is quite a simple addition because the mechanism for such renames is already there.

If we don't want to add features to lib2to3 (since I understand it will be deprecated in the future), then shall we instead close this issue as won't-do?

Thanks for the PR @iritkatriel but I'm inclined to close this as won't fix.  There are plenty of other changes someone would need to migrate to Python 3 for the email package, so I think this is of limited benefit.
