Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Lib/email
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv31002

Modified Files:
      Tag: release23-maint
	Generator.py 
Log Message:
__init__(): The docstring was incorrect regarding how header wrapping
gets done when maxheaderlen <> 0.  The header really gets wrapped via
the email.Header.Header class, which has a more sophisticated
algorithm than just splitting on semi-colons.

          Optional maxheaderlen specifies the longest length for a non-continued
          header.  When a header line is longer (in characters, with tabs
!         expanded to 8 spaces), than maxheaderlen, the header will be broken on
!         semicolons and continued as per RFC 2822.  If no semicolon is found,
!         then the header is left alone.  Set to zero to disable wrapping
!         headers.  Default is 78, as recommended (but not required by RFC
!         2822.
