Summary: silent error in email.message.Message.get_payload

Initial Comment:
I rencently had trouble finding a bug in an email processing script because of an error that pass silently in the email module.
The get_payload() method in the email.message module always return something when the decode argument is set to True.
This behaviour is well documented, but is their a reason to catch the decoding errors ?
Why not let them pop-up to the calling code ?
