"""Parser of RFC 2822 and MIME email messages.
Creates an in-memory object tree representing the email message, which
can then be manipulated and turned over to a Generator to return the
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
blank line.
_class is the class to instantiate for new message objects when they
must be created. This class must have a constructor that can take
zero arguments. Default is Message.Message.
