I guess that I would like to complain and reopen this
issue. :,)  I cannot build a Python 2.2.1 with threads
under Cygwin without this patch even though I'm using
Michael's static _socket workaround.  This is due to the
Cygwin fork() problem with DLL base address conflicts
that are triggered by importing many modules during the
setup.py run.  Similar problems can also be caused by
regrtest.py.

Even after my rebase patch is accepted into Cygwin's
setup.exe, I feel this patch will still be necessary.
This is because during the build process, the shared
extensions (i.e., DLLs) will not be rebased yet.  Hence,
the potential for DLL base address conflicts will exist.

One way to obviate this patch is to push the rebase
functionality into Cygwin's ld.  Unfortunately, I don't
think this is likely to happen.  Another possible way,
is to use the yet to be defined and implemented unload
module functionality:

Allow the script to have not only a TEXT filetype but also a null filetype (to enable files to be created from the Unix side of OSX to be droppable on the MacPython interpreter).

Added documentation for BooleanType.

the AddressList.addresslist attribute directly.

Also, add a test case for the email.Utils.getaddresses() interface.

non-callable objects is always None.  This makes for less confusing
output and fixes the problem reported in SF patch #550290.

instead of calling the getaddrlist() method, since the latter doesn't
work with multiple calls (it will return the empty list for the second
and subsequent calls).

this version is the same as the version from the independent PyUNIT
release (confusion was indicated on the PyUNIT mailing list).

This is a strange test.

Bugfix candidate, probably.

I think I will embark on squashing test failures in --disable-unicode builds --

and explicit maxlinelen arguments to the Header constructor.

email package's Parser to handle the three common line endings.
Certain protocols such as IMAP define CRLF line endings and it doesn't
make sense for the client app to have to normalize the line endings
before handing it message off to the Parser.

_parsebody(): Be more flexible in the matching of line endings for
finding the MIME separators.  Accept any of \r, \n and \r\n.  Note
that we do /not/ change the line endings in the payloads, we just
accept any of those three around MIME boundaries.

single byte character sets.  Also fixed a semantic problem with the
constructor's default arguments.  Specifically,

__init__(): Change the maxlinelen argument default to None instead of
MAXLINELEN.  The semantics should have been (and now are) that if
maxlinelen is given it is always honored.  If it isn't given, but
header_name is given, then the maximum line length is calculated.  If
neither are given then the default 76 characters is used.

_split(): If the character set is a single byte character set then we
can split the line at the maxlinelen because we know that encoding the
header won't increase its length.  If the charset isn't a single byte
charset then we use the quicker divide-and-conquer line splitting
algorithm as before.

for the email package.  The former is now just a shell project that
has some extra files for packaging for independent use (e.g. setup.py
and README).

Added a compatibility layer so that the same API can be used in Python
2.1 and 2.2/2.3 with the major differences shuffled off into helper
modules (_compat21.py and _compat22.py).

Also bumped the package version number to 2.0.3 for some fixes to be
checked in momentarily.
