[issue21476] Inconsitent behaviour between BytesParser.parse and Parser.parse

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

Right, part of the parser contract is to not throw exceptions.  Traditionally, a bug could result in an exception, but not an invalid message.

However, using the new email policies, it is possible to *request* that it raise exceptions instead of registering defects.  See policy.raise_on_defect.
