    Issue 7970: When email.Parser.Parser parses a MIME message of type
    message/rfc822 it turns it into an object whose body consists of
    a list containing a single Message object.  HeaderParser, on the
    other hand, just copies the body as a string.  Generator.flatten
    has a special handler for the message mime type that expected the
    body to be the one item list.  This fails if the message was parsed
    by HeaderParser.  So we now check to see if the body is a string
    first, and if so just we just emit it.
