Is it a bug (or a feature)?

[Roman Suzi]

In Python2.3.4:

>>> em = email.message_from_file(open('MAILMESSAGE'))
>>> for i in em:
...   print i
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/email/Message.py",
line
304, in __getitem__
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/email/Message.py",
line
370, in get
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'lower'

However items() does work:

>>> for i in em.items():
...   print i
...
('Date', '24 Aug 2004 16:06:01 +0400')
('From', 'Mail System Internal Data <MAILER-DAEMON at mydomain.ru>')
('Subject', "DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE -- FOLDER INTERNAL DATA")
('Message-ID', '<1095549161 at mydomain.ru>')
('X-IMAP', '1095527634 0000000005')
('Status', 'RO')

I can probably guess why this happens ('cause multiple fields with the
same names are possible), but .items() is broken by this... It needn't
be!
