Summary: email crashes on broken attachements

Initial Comment:
email.Utils._bdecode() does not fail gracefully on
broken attachements. The documentation suggests
(somewhat) that it should, though:

[if] "the header is missing, the payload is returned as-is"

A use-case can be found at

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=691039&group_id=103&atid=100103

and a patch for it at:
