Research direction

Start by reviewing the historical issue8898 patches, especially issue8898_withtests.patch and issue8898_3.patch, along with linked PRs gh-136701, gh-149942, and gh-150967. Compare the email package's alias handling with the codecs module and inspect the existing test changes. Done means all email aliases defer consistently to codecs and the relevant tests pass.
