[issue33476] String index out of range in get_group(), email/_header_value_parser.py

[Enrique Perez-Terron]

New submission from Enrique Perez-Terron <enrique at perezterron.net>:

When address group is missing final ';', 'value' will be an empty string. I suggest the following patch

$ diff -u _save_header_value_parser.py _header_value_parser.py

     if not value:
