I'm a little confused about the relationship between the Python
email.parser convenience function email.message_from_string() and the
mailbox.Message objects.

If I want an mailbox.mboxMessage given the message as a stream of text
is the right way to do it as follows (or at least a reasonable way to
do it):-

msg = email.message_from_string(messageAsAString)

mbxMsg = mailbox.mboxMessage(msg)

Or can I go direct to mbox by doing:-

mbxMsg = mailbox.mboxMessage(messageAsAString)

Answered myself by just trying it, the simple, straightforward

mbxMsg = mailbox.mboxMessage(messageAsAString)

works perfectly.
