[issue22666] email.Header no encoding of unicode strings containing newlines

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

I'd have to double check, but I think having /r /n etc encoded in an encopded string is illegal per the rfcs.  It should be, anyway.  So IMO the bug is encoding them at all, but at this point we probably can't fix it for bacward compatibility reasons.

I'm leaving this issue open for the moment because I do want to check the rfc, and also double check what the new API does in this situation (and make sure there are tests).
