        Creates an in-memory object tree representing the email message, which

        textual representation of the message.

        The string must be formatted as a block of RFC 2822 headers and header
        continuation lines, optionally preceeded by a `Unix-from' header.  The
        header block is terminated either by the end of the string or by a

        zero arguments.  Default is Message.Message.

        more forgiving in parsing of ill-formatted MIME documents.  When
