It's relatively easy to replace mimetools in most places: it's just a matter of changing mimetools.Message to email.message_from_file, but it gets a lot more complicated when there's inheritance involved. The problem is that mimetools.Message is both a parser and a Message representation, and AFAIK there's no single class in ``email`` which does both -- the functionality is split between the Parser and Message classes. Inheritance happens in two places: ``pydoc.Message`` and ``http.client.HTTPMessage``, and I couldn't find a solution for those cases yet. Any help would be appreciated.
