[New-bugs-announce] [issue39100] email.policy.SMTP throws AttributeError on invalid header

[Anton Khirnov]

New submission from Anton Khirnov <anton at khirnov.net>:

When parsing a (broken) mail from linux-media at vger.kernel.org (message-id 20190212181908.Horde.pEiGHvV2KHy9EkUy8TA8D1o at webmail.your-server.de, headers attached) with email.policy.SMTP, I get an AttributeError on trying to read the 'to' header:

/usr/lib/python3.7/email/headerregistry.py in <listcomp>(.0)
    345                                              mb.local_part or '',
    346                                              mb.domain or '')
--> 347                                      for mb in addr.all_mailboxes]))
    348             defects = list(address_list.all_defects)
    349         else:

AttributeError: 'Group' object has no attribute 'local_part'

The header in question is:
To:     unlisted-recipients:; (no To-header on input)

The problem seems to be that mb is a Group and not an Address, gets token_type of 'invalid-mailbox', but does not have the attributes local_part/domain that are expected in mailboxes. Copying the line

local_part = domain = route = addr_spec = display_name

from InvalidMailbox to Group fixes this, but it is not clear to me this is the right solution, so not sending a patch.
