[issue1672568] silent error in email.message.Message.get_payload

[R. David Murray]

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

I've taken another look at this, and the email module is pretty consistent about just passing through data if it can't interpret it according to standards.  I think it would lead to a cluttered API if we add support for being strict and raising errors piecemeal.  So I'm deferring this to 3.3 and the email6 work, where we plan to have a comprehensive 'strict' mode.
