A simple change speeds up Message.as_string by more
than a factor of 2 if the message already has a defined
boundary, by avoiding a time-consuming RE compilation
and search.

Turns out there's a bug in my version of the patch, and no test in the email test suite traversed that code path.

Attached patch fixes this; I'll commit and backport after trunk unfreezes.  Note that the backport contains a second bug (calls self._make_boundary when it should be just _make_boundary)
