[issue34954] Getting an email's subject is error-prone

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

Can you demonstrate that policy.default and policy.SMTP produce a subject with newlines?  If they do, that is a serious bug.

Please don't reopen the issue.  I'll reopen it if you convince me there is a bug :)

The statement you suggest we add is not appropriate[*], since the python3 email library *is* a high level library now.  If it isn't handling something for you when you use policy.default or policy.SMTP, then that is a bug.  (Well, it's MIME Multipart handling still leaves something to be desired...you still have to know more than is optimal about multiparts, but the hooks are there for someone to improve that aspect further.)

[*] The part about the protocol is certainly true, though :)
