New submission from Tim Bell:
Email addresses with a display name starting with a dot ("."), or ending with a
dot without whitespace before the angle bracket trigger exceptions when
accessing the header, after creating the message object with the "default"
policy.
For example:
>>> import email
>>> from email.policy import default
>>> email.message_from_bytes(b'To: . Doe <[email protected]>')['to']
'. Doe <[email protected]>'
>>> email.message_from_bytes(b'To: . Doe <[email protected]>',
>>> policy=default)['to']
Traceback (most recent call last):
