OK, so I can do:

######################################################################
if args.verbose:
    for k in mail.keys():
        print(f"{k}: {mail.get(k)}")
    print('')
    print(mail.get_content())
######################################################################

prints what I want and is not wildly clunky, but I am a little surprised
that I can't get a string representation of the whole email in one go.

Cheers,

Loris
