[Tracker-discuss] [issue158] multi-line From headers in outgoing mail break PINE

[Guido van Rossum]

New submission from Guido van Rossum:

I received a complaint from Dennis Allison that the tracker sends email with
multiline From headers, which (he thinks) are disallowed by the RFC and in any
case cause problems with his PINE email reader (a fine email reader I might add).

Example:

Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2007 21:30:46 -0000
From: "[utf-8]
                                       Jim Jewett
                               " <report at bugs.python.org>
To: python-bugs-list at python.org
Subject: [issue1177] urllib* 20x responses not OK?
