No, not really, since at best that's a nasty (and I meant really nasty) 
hack. I'm using the email package as part of a library that I'm building 
which is to be used with various frameworks. Monkey patching modules is 
about as bad as it gets in that situation...

At worst, and most likely based on my past experience of (c)StringIO 
being used to accumulate output, it won't make a jot of difference...
