Is this mailbox manipulation working by luck, or can't I understand my own code?

Thanks, yes, this tells me a little:-

    ('msg.get.__doc__ =', 'Get a header value.\n\n        Like
    __getitem__() but return failobj instead of None when the field\n
     is missing.\n        ')

However it isn't mentioned *anywhere* in the documentation that I can
see.  There's only __getitem__() and get() for the mailbox class which
operate on a whole mailbox and return a whole message.`
