Ralf, it would be useful to know what version of Python you are using with
Mailman.

As I read CookHeaders.py, the relevant code there looks right with respect
to folding headers, but it is subject to correct behavior in the str()
operation applied to an email.Header object.  That is, the
email.Header.encode() function.  This code has greatly changed between
Python 2.3 and 2.4, and I'd rather not work on understanding both forms.
