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

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

Yes, I agree that that is a concern.  What should probably happen is that the maximum line length be a settable parameter with a "reasonable" default.  It is too bad that (unlike say the SMTP protocol) the imap protocol does not address this directly.
