Whenever getmail actually receives mail it prints a deprecation warning when using python 2.4 because of changes to python's email package. According to http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=getmail&m=109995431002051&w=2 there is no "nice" way to avoid this, so I patched getmail to behave differently when python 2.4 or newer is used. This is imho ugly, but it should be safe and remove the deprecation message.

I've only patched getmail-4.2.5 (x86 stable) but the same thing applies to 4.3.1 with some line numbers changed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install python-2.4 (currently in package.mask)
2. emerge getmail
3. use it to fetch mail

Actual Results:  
received the following warning:

/usr/lib/python2.4/email/__init__.py:43: DeprecationWarning: 'strict' argument
is deprecated (and ignored)
  return Parser(*args, **kws).parsestr(s)


Expected Results:  
fetched mail without complaining

The patch now gets applied to 4.2.5-r1, 4.3.1-r1 and new 4.3.2. All are unstable, but I'll mark first two stable ASAP. Thanks for the patch!
