Research direction

Start with the linked mbox and preserve_leading_whitespace.patch, then inspect the email component's parsing tests and current behavior. Reproduce the behavior from BPO-1590744 and use the existing patch and dependency on the Policy framework to establish the expected result; done means the needed regression test passes.
