Summary: email module namespace inconsistent

Initial Comment:
Inconsistencies in the email module:

----------------
from email.Generator import Generator
foo = Generator(...)
----------------

works as you'd expect, but the following:
----------------
import email
foo = email.Generator.Generator(...)
----------------
raises AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute
'Generator'.

The two should be equivalent, shouldn't they?
