silent error in email module

R

rb.online

Hi all,

I rencently had trouble finding a bug in an email processing script
because of an error that pass silently in the email module.
The get_payload() method in the email.message module always return
something when the decode argument is set to True.
This behaviour is well documented, but is their a reason to catch the
decoding errors ?
Why not let them pop-up to the calling code ?
Do you think it's worth submitting a RFE ?
