[New-bugs-announce] [issue19485] Slightly incorrect doc for get_param method in Lib/email/message.py

[Vajrasky Kok]

New submission from Vajrasky Kok:

Lib/email/message.py, line 665 & 666:

    param = msg.get_param('foo')
    param = email.utils.collapse_rfc2231_value(rawparam)

Where does rawparam come from?

On top of that, sending the result of get_param to collapse_rfc2231_value can make it chokes if the result of get_param is None. I already proposed the change in collapse_rfc2231_value to handle None gracefully in another ticket #19063, though.
