[New-bugs-announce] [issue27321] Email parser creates a message object that can't be flattened

[Mark Sapiro]

New submission from Mark Sapiro:

The attached file, bad_email, can be parsed via

msg = email.message_from_binary_file(open('bad_email', 'rb'))

but then msg.as_string() prodices the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/email/message.py", line 159, in as_string
    g.flatten(self, unixfrom=unixfrom)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/email/generator.py", line 115, in flatten
    self._write(msg)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/email/generator.py", line 189, in _write
    msg.replace_header('content-transfer-encoding', munge_cte[0])
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/email/message.py", line 559, in replace_header
    raise KeyError(_name)
KeyError: 'content-transfer-encoding'
