[issue5871] email.header.Header too lax with embeded newlines

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

Re __getitem__: yes, the email package allows you to work with messages that are *not* RFC conformant (which you do encounter when processing actual email :), and this is an important feature.  The plan in email6 is to detect and report additional RFC violations, with an optional "strict" mode to raise errors if any violations are encountered.
