you need to wrap the new connection:

Why does SMTP.send_message(msg) do from mangling even though msg's
policy has mangle_from_ set to False? The msg policy is
email.policy.SMTP which has mangle_from_ disabled.

New submission from Grant Edwards :
The documentation for str.title() states that the first character in each world
is converted to upper case. That is not correct for recent versions of Python.
The first character in each word is converted to title case. Title and upper
may be the same
become "L'Homme". It's language-dependant.
In English, certain words are not capitalized in titles unless they're
the first word in the title (short articles and prepositions), and
.title() doesn't get that right either:
>>> "the man in the grey flannel suit".title()
e OP is reporting. Issue 12737 is about Unicode
combining marks. The OP's problem is related to the apostrophe used to
form a possessive.

Why would the user choose one over the other? Does the user get

I'd probably subtract 3 (mod 10), so as to more obviously match the
stated requirement.

That's very clever, but being too clever on homework assignemnts
doesn't always get a good grade. If they've just studied iteration,
the modulus operator, and int/str conversions, then I'd avise using
