I tend to think of the test as an actual spec of the behavior I'm trying
to implement.  By defining before hand exactly what I expect to happen I
can confirm that my patch achieves what I want it to.

As an example, you might look at my patch that adds better rfc822 part
handling [0].  I tried to fully flesh out what I wanted to happen in the
test first, and then modified the code to achieve that result.
