[issue11492] email.header.Header doesn't fold headers

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

Ah, it isn't broken, it's just that the default changed.  In 2.x, the default was maxlinelen=78, in 3.x, the default is maxlinelen=None (unlimited), but generator passes in an override of 78 when formatting output.  So you can specify an explicit maxlinelen=78 and that will wrap the headers in both 2.x and 3.x.  (There are differences in the wrapping algorithms, though!)
