Is this mailbox manipulation working by luck, or can't I understand my own code?

 ('msg.get.__doc__ =', 'Get a header value.\n\n Like
 __getitem__() but return failobj instead of None when the field\n
 is missing.\n ')
However it isn't mentioned *anywhere* in the documentation that I can
see. There's only __getitem__() and get() for the mailbox class which
operate on a whole mailbox and return a whole message.`
