[New-bugs-announce] [issue41010] email.message.EmailMessage.get_body

[patrick totzke]

New submission from patrick totzke <patricktotzke at gmail.com>:

I am trying to use EmailMessage.get_body() on the attached spam email.
Although that message may be malformed, I believe that this method should fail gracefully.

To reproduce

```
with open('msg', 'rb') as f: 
    m = email.message_from_binary_file(f, _class=email.message.EmailMessage) 

 m.get_body()

    980         maintype, subtype = part.get_content_type().split('/')

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'is_attachment'

```

I am on Python 3.8.3 on debian testing.
