[issue23647] imaplib.py MAXLINE value is too low for gmail

[Arnt Gulbrandsen]

Arnt Gulbrandsen added the comment:

You're entirely right. I should've reread 2683 too (a decade has passed since I read that).

The danger with accepting the unlimited line length is that batch scripts might accept an infinitely large batch. Which is a matter of python culture, really.

(This has been a very positive experience.)
