[New-bugs-announce] [issue23833] email.header.Header folding modifies headers that include semi-colons

[Dan]

New submission from Dan:

When adding or replacing a header with email.header.Header, folding of long lines will add a space after any semi-colon encountered in the string. 

Setting maxlinelen to something longer than the string (no folding required), no spaces are added after semi-colons.
