Description of problem: The emails sent by dnf-automatic arrive mangled: some headers are shown as part of the message body.

Please could you provide additional information about a problem (headers and body before and after patch) and how we can reproduce it. Also please make a pull request with your fix to dnf project on https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf
pull request: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/373 You can see from python's documentation what's wrong: str() on a message is equivalent to as_string(unixfrom=True) (the default for unixfrom is False). unixfrom makes an envelope header out of the From: header of the message. cf as_string documentation: https://docs.python.org/2/library/email.message.html#email.message.Message.as_string But that's redundant with sendmail(), which creates an envelope header out of its from_addr argument: https://docs.python.org/2/library/smtplib.html#smtplib.SMTP.sendmail Note that the examples for the email package all use as_string(), not str(): https://docs.python.org/2/library/email-examples.html
