(there is no sendall method in SMTP, but send)
Looks like there is no other way... perhaps I'd have overriden data()  
instead of send(), but it's as dirty as yours, one has to duplicate the  
original code.
I don't know how often the need arises or how useful would this be to  
others, but you could submit a patch to http://bugs.python.org/
