Summary: Email.message example missing arg

Initial Comment:
LIb Ref 12.2.3 Generating MIME documents says
 '''
class Generator( outfp[, mangle_from_[, 
maxheaderlen]]) 

The constructor for the Generator class takes a file-like 
object called outfp for an argument. outfp must support 
the write() method and be usable as the output file in a 
Python extended print statement. 
'''

12.2.1 Representing an email message has example
 '''
from cStringIO import StringIO
from email.Generator import Generator
fp = StringIO()
g = Generator(mangle_from_=False, maxheaderlen=60)
...
'''
It seems prett clear that fp should be added as first arg 
of Generator call.

Well spotted!  I've fixed this on both the CVS trunk and the 2.3 maintenance 
branch.
