[Tokio Kikuchi]

New submission from Tokio Kikuchi <tkikuchi at users.sourceforge.net>:

Regular expression ecre for RFC2047 encoded_word in email.header module have bugs:

1. encoded_word should be separated by SPACEs in both leading and trailing ends.  Current expression take care only trailing end.

2. encoded_text in the third part of encoded_word should not include literal ? or SPACE.

Also, ecre should not match against multiline.

The patch includes two test cases for test/test_email.py
