Use the real parameter names in the email.utils docs, so that keyword calls written as documented work:
parseaddr(): address -> addrparsedate(), parsedate_tz(), parsedate_to_datetime(): date -> datamktime_tz(): tuple -> data
AI disclosure: prepared with the help of Claude Code; I reviewed the change.
Sorry, something went wrong.

The documented names did not match the real ones, so passing the
argument by the documented keyword raised TypeError:
* parseaddr(): address -> addr
* parsedate(), parsedate_tz(), parsedate_to_datetime(): date -> data
* mktime_tz(): tuple -> data
