Hello.

Why does not work?
[...]

m=email.message.Message()

[...]

p2=email.message.Message()
p2.set_type("message/rfc822")
p2.set_payload(m)

Payload is a _list_ of Message objects (is_multipart() == True)
or a _string_ object (is_multipart() == False) but never just Message object.

Payload is a _list_ of Message objects (is_multipart() == True)
or a _string_ object (is_multipart() == False) but never just Message
object.

1. If I give m.as_string() into set_payload, result is the same.
2. I don't understand, how message/rfc822 section can accept a list of two
or more messages. Can you explain?

1. If I give m.as_string() into set_payload, result is the same.

The payload of a message/rfc822 is treated like a sequence
of length 1. So that works:
p2.set_payload([m])

2. I don't understand, how message/rfc822 section can accept a list of two
or more messages. Can you explain?

That's another question.
I don't understand either, why the payload for message/rfc822 has to be
a list of length 1 and not a Message object itself.
This assumption looks strange to me, too, but I can live with that.
