I seem to rememeber that a recent version (probably 2.2) modified the
mailbox objects so you could provide an optional (callable) factory argument
when creating them, and this would then be called when the mailbox instance
needed to create a message. The default is rfc822.Message, hence the
behavior you are seeing.

Does this help any?
