New submission from Enrico Zini <enr...@enricozini.org>:
This simple code:
```
import mailbox
mbox = mailbox.mbox("broken.mbox")
for msg in mbox:
msg.get_payload()
```
Fails rather unexpectedly:
```
$ python3 broken.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "broken.py", line 5, in <module>
msg.get_payload()
File "/usr/lib/python3.7/email/message.py", line 267, in get_payload
payload = bpayload.decode(self.get_param('charset', 'ascii'), 'replace')
TypeError: decode() argument 1 must be str, not tuple
```
(I'm attaching a zip with code and mailbox)
I would have expected either that the part past text/plain is ignored if it
doesn't make sense, or that content-type is completely ignored.
I have to process a large mailbox archive, and this is currently how I had to
work around this issue, and it's causing me to have to skip email content which
would otherwise be reasonably accessible:
