When parsing fails for a single fieldvalue, a 2-tuple of ``('', '')``
is returned in its place. Other errors in parsing the list of
addresses such as a fieldvalue seemingly parsing into multiple
addresses may result in a list containing a single empty 2-tuple
``[('', '')]`` being returned rather than returning potentially
invalid output.
Example malformed input parsing:
.. doctest::
>>> from email.utils import getaddresses
>>> getaddresses(['alice@example.com <bob@example.com>', 'me@example.com'])
[('', '')]
.. versionchanged:: 3.12
The 2-tuple of ``('', '')`` in the returned values when parsing
fails were added as to address a security issue.
