the Message class __setitem__ is simply:
self._headers.append((name, val))

which means it is just storing a tuple so I suspect is some form of 
string conversion on output that is doing the conversion I have come to 
know and love.  I should probably investigate this a bit more to see if 
it is doing exactly what I think it's doing and why.

probably not a bad idea.  I will experiment with this tomorrow and let 
you know how well it works.
