While it may be simple on paper or in a text editor, I believe Barry
was talking about the changes needed in Mailman, given the
class-and-instance structure of Mailman.

Barry wants to create a new email.Message.Message around the existing
message, which then would become the multipart/mixed message.

However, I don't think this is needed: You could create a new Message,
and copy the ._payload, and the content type to the new message; you
would change the _payload of the existing message to be a list of the
three parts (header, submessage, footer), and also change content
type.

That would leave the outer chrome intact, no?
