Summary: Email does not render subject in the "Review" Page

Initial Comment:
I received the attached email.  When I go to the "review" web page of pop3proxy.py, all it shows is:

Messages classified as Unsure:       From:  
(none)                                            (none)

It acts as though the message has no "from" or "subject", even though they exist.  The user is not given any way to classify this message other than to click on the first "(none)" and read the raw message to determine its contents.  I will attach the message below.

Tested with current CVS Spambayes and Python 2.3b1,
and works perfectly - must have been fixed by the email
handling improvements that Tim mentioned.

We are now actively engaged in improving the email package parser, 
which should resolve these malformation related errors.

This is another email package parsing 'error' caused by a malformed 
header in the attached email.  The content-type header has an embedded 
/r/n, which causes the email package to barf and discard all the 
headers.

IMO, the email package is being used in Spambayes in 
ways that it was never intended for.  Malformed mail is gonna be the death 
of us, and the email package just doesn't seem to handle it very 
well.

I'm gonna leave this bug open, but there's virtually nothing 
that can be done to make things better, at least not AFAIK.
