Maybe it's only some kind of misunderstanding... Please have a look at 
Zope/lib/python/Products/MailHost/MailHost.py

If you want to send only a message-Body (only the content of a mail), 
you should use:

  simple_send(self, mto, mfrom, subject, body):

If you want to send a complete messageText (headers + content), you 
should use:

def send(self, messageText, mto=None, mfrom=None, subject=None,
              encode=None):

If you want to use send(...) to send only content, you should format 
your messageText as messageText="\n"+messageBody.
