        Creates an in-memory object tree representing the email message, which
        can then be manipulated and turned over to a Generator to return the
        textual representation of the message.

        The string must be formatted as a block of RFC 2822 headers and header
        continuation lines, optionally preceded by a `Unix-from' header.  The
        header block is terminated either by the end of the string or by a
        blank line.

        _class is the class to instantiate for new message objects when they
        must be created.  This class must have a constructor that can take
        zero arguments.  Default is Message.Message.
