I will. Please don't use my patch yet, it breaks something else in the test_email:

./python Lib/test/regrtest.py test_email
[1/1] test_email
test test_email failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/export/incoming/python/py3k/Lib/email/test/test_email.py", line 1146, in test_body
    eq(msg.get_payload(), '+vv8/f7/')
AssertionError: '+vv8/f7/\n' != '+vv8/f7/'
- +vv8/f7/
?         -
+ +vv8/f7/

1 test failed:
    test_email


This is with my code patch, not the test patch. I'll look at it, and post again, could be the extra newline you were talking about.
