Research direction
Review the attached mail and mail.json samples together with issue27010-notuniqueboundary.patch to understand the malformed MIME boundary case and the proposed NotUniqueBoundaryInMultipartDefect behavior. The issue needs a decided recovery policy, implementation in Python's email component, and regression coverage demonstrating the intended handling.
