Change "\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(...)}" to "\setindexsubitem{(...)}"
everywhere.
Some other minor nits that I happened to come across.

\setindexsubitem{(in module mailbox)}
|
|
|
|
This module defines a number of classes that allow easy and uniform
|
|
access to mail messages in a (unix) mailbox.
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{UnixMailbox}{fp}
|
|
Access a classic \UNIX{}-style mailbox, where all messages are contained
|
|
in a single file and separated by ``From name time'' lines. \var{Fp}
|
|
is the file object pointing to the mailbox file.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{MmdfMailbox}{fp}
|
|
Access an MMDF-style mailbox, where all messages are contained
|
|
in a single file and separated by lines consisting of 4 control-A
|
|
characters. \var{Fp}
|
|
is the file object pointing to the mailbox file.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{MHMailbox}{dirname}
|
|
Access an MH mailbox, a directory with each message in a separate
|
|
file with a numeric name. \var{Dirname}
|
|
is the name of the mailbox directory.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Mailbox Objects}
|
|
|
|
All implementations of Mailbox objects have one externally visible
|
|
method:
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{next}{}
|
|
Return the next message in the mailbox, as a \code{rfc822.Message} object.
|
|
Depending on the mailbox implementation the \var{fp} attribute of this
|
|
object may be a true file object or a class instance simulating a file object,
|
|
taking care of things like message boundaries if multiple mail messages are
|
|
contained in a single file, etc.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
