Summary: string payload expected: <type 'list'>

Initial Comment:
This appears to be a bug in email 2.4.3.

A TMDA user reported this problem today. With this
particular message (an ezmlm multipart/digest), 
email 2.4.3 throws a TypeError when calling 
as_string(). Other messages are unproblematic.

The traceback and copy of the problematic
message are attached.

Yep, this is a real bug.  RFC 2046, $5.1.5 recommends
against using a content type other than message/rfc822 as a
subpart of a multipart/digest, but doesn't make it illegal. 

I believe I have a patch for this (checking it into Py2.3
cvs) that doesn't cause any other tests to fail.
