Summary: API enhancement: poplib.MailReader()

Initial Comment: When retrieving POP3 mails using poplib, messages are returned as list of lines. Converting them to a email.Messages requires concatinating them into a single string.

I suggest writing a little file-like class wrapper which may be used for parsing these type of messages without concatinating the lines first. This wrapper may be exposed in the poplib module.

I suggest calling this class 'MailReader', but I would appreciate better naeming :-)

If this is of interest, I may volunteer writing this wrapper.

Perhaps the adaptor should be part of the email package rather than a part of poplib.
