Playing with

data = n.article('116431')[3]

and email.message_from_string, there seems to be a problem with the
content type being split up. I was able to get a multipart message by
using

msg = email.message_from_string('\n'.join(data).replace(';\n', ';'))

(and adding an ending boundary to your sample data).
This is a bit hackish and  could cause problems if there are
semicolons inside the message body (no warranties expressed or
implied, etc.)

Hope this helps,
