I'd like to have a really serious effort to make sure we can DW the first group for 2.5. In particular, the mimetools.Message class is used for a whole pile of different protocols (anything with rfc2822 style Header: Value lines). To me, it doesn't make much sense that this lives in a module called 'mimetools'.

But maybe that's just me.
