Research direction
Start by reviewing the attached rfc822_httpmessage_payload.patch and Python PR #12214, then inspect the email component's handling of HTTP responses with Content-Type: message/rfc822. Done means the incorrect response handling is corrected and the behavior is covered by an appropriate regression test.
