[New-bugs-announce] [issue4696] email module does not fold headers

[Ben Artin]

New submission from Ben Artin <ba000484 at artins.org>:

RFC 2822 allows for certain headers to be spread across multiple lines 
(section 2.2.3). In particular, subject, comments, and keywords headers 
behave this way (section 3.6.5). 

I think the email module should unfold such headers. See attached patch.
