standard library email.parser fails to recognize multipart message

Bug report

Bug description:

If an email message with attachments contain a boundary with the characters "<--- ... --->" the email.parser module fails to recognize the message as being multipart.

I have attached to this bug report an example mailbox file, and when the following snippet is run on it you will see that is_multipart() returns False, although the message is clearly a multipart message.

I found this boundary string used in a real life email I received.

from email.parser import Parser

# Create parser instance
P = Parser()

with open("message-error.mbox") as f:
    msg = P.parse(f)

print(msg.is_multipart())

message-error.txt

從提供的 message-error.txt 信箱和 email.parser Parser 程式碼片段開始，然後檢查標準函式庫中的 multipart 邊界處理。檢視連結的 PR gh-135891，了解已在進行的工作。當該範例被辨識為 multipart 且 msg.is_multipart() 回傳 True 時，即表示完成。
