Python 2 or Python 3? I know about Py3 parsing issues, but not about any
Py2 ones.

Also, I'm collecting a set of these sorts of 'interesting' emails to
integrate into the tests. If you could forward me a copy that would be
very much appreciated. I don't know if it's a public mail - if not, feel
free to redact anything sensitive. As long as it's still a valid
email and still makes patchwork fail, it's helpful.

Regards,
Daniel
