#3196: if needed pad a short base64 encoded word before trying to decode.
The RFCs encourage following Postel's law: be liberal in what you accept.
So if someone forgot to pad the base64 encoded word payload to an
even four bytes, we add the padding before handing it to base64mime.decode.
Previously, missing padding resulted in a HeaderParseError.
Patch by Jason Williams.

base64 transfer-encoded payload *after* decoding it; it no longer does.
email had a special method in utils, _bdecode, specifically to do this,
so it must have served a purpose at some point, yet it is clearly wrong
per RFC. Fixed with Barry's approval, but no backport. Email package
minor version number is bumped, now version 4.0.1.
Patch by Joaquin Cuenca Abela.
though with some changes by me. This patch should not be back ported or
forward ported. It's a bit too risky for 2.6 and 3.x does things fairly
differently.
[ 1752723 ] email.message_from_string: initial line gets discarded
I added a test to assert that when the first line of text passed to
message_from_string() contains a leading space, the message ends up with the
appropriate FirstHeaderLineIsContinuationDefect on its defects list.
The bug is invalid.
2047-like headers where there is no whitespace between encoded words. This
fix changes the matching regexp to include a trailing lookahead assertion that
the closing ?= must be followed by whitespace, newline, or end-of-string.
This also changes the regexp to add the MULTILINE flag.
it into email 4.0. Specifically, in Message.get_content_charset(), handle RFC
2231 headers that contain an encoding not known to Python, or a character in
the data that isn't in the charset encoding. Also forward port the
appropriate unit tests.
points out there are really two types of continued headers defined in this
RFC (i.e. "encoded" parameters with the form "name*0*=" and unencoded
parameters with the form "name*0="), but we were were handling them both the
same way and that isn't correct.
This patch should be much more RFC compliant in that only encoded params are
%-decoded and the charset/language information is only extract if there are
any encoded params in the segments. If there are no encoded params then the
RFC says that there will be no charset/language parts.
Note however that this will change the return value for Message.get_param() in
some cases. For example, whereas before if you had all unencoded param
continuations you would have still gotten a 3-tuple back from this method
(with charset and language == None), you will now get just a string. I don't
believe this is a backward incompatible change though because the
documentation for this method already indicates that either return value is
possible and that you must do an isinstance(val, tuple) check to discriminate
between the two. (Yeah that API kind of sucks but we can't change /that/
without breaking code.)
Test cases, some documentation updates, and a NEWS item accompany this patch.
Specifically, instead of raising a ValueError when there is a single tick in
the parameter, simply return that the entire string unquoted, with None for
both the charset and the language. Also, if there are more than 2 ticks in
the parameter, interpret the first three parts as the standard RFC 2231 parts,
then the rest of the parts as the encoded string.
Test cases added.
Original fewer-than-3-parts fix by Tokio Kikuchi.
Resolves SF bug # 1218081. I will back port the fix and tests to Python 2.4
(email 3.0) and Python 2.3 (email 2.5).
Also, bump the version number to email 4.0.1, removing the 'alpha' moniker.
Patch #1464708 from William McVey: fixed handling of nested comments in mail
addresses. E.g.
"Foo ((Foo Bar)) <foo@example.com>"
Fixes for both rfc822.py and email package. This patch needs to be back
ported to Python 2.3 for email 2.5.
