[issue27397] email.message.Message.get_payload(decode=True) raises AssertionError that "should never happen"

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

This appears to be a bug in b64decode.  It should not be raising that error if validate=False, as it is in the code being executed during the test case.  It's not that b64decode is ignoring the validate argument; the error appears to be data-dependent.  I don't have time to investigate this further at the moment, perhaps someone else can pick it up.
