[pysqlite] [APSWS] AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'lstrip'

Hello

I'm trying to fetch email addresses from an SQLite database and send 
email using... the email package, but it calls the lstrip() method, 
which isn't supported by APSW:

=====
from email.MIMEText import MIMEText
import smtplib,sys
import apsw
[...]
sql='SELECT email FROM person WHERE email IS NOT NULL'
rows=list(cursor.execute(sql))
for email in rows:
	To = email
	msg['To'] = email

	#print stuff
	#(u'dummy-PV5Ro7/[email protected],)
	
	#File "C:\Python25\lib\email\quoprimime.py", line 97, in _max_append
	#L.append(s.lstrip())
	#AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'lstrip'
	server.sendmail(From,[To],msg.as_string())
=====

Any idea what I could try to combine APSW and email succesfully?

Thank you.
