Hi Thorsten (2015.06.02_08:04:56_-0400)
See how Python 3.4 embarassingly fails this extremely simple
RFC2047 eMail header MIME encoding test: the resulting header
line is 82 chars, and thus longer than what RFC822 permits.
I can't find any reference to an 82 character limit in RFC822.
Also, RFC822 is ancient history. It was updated by RFC2822 in 2001 to
explicitly have a line length limit of 998 characters.
So, I'm not sure that there's a bug here.
Stefano
