(again apologies for my pedantry -- this sub-discussion has little or no
bearing on the bug, and I promise I'll restrain myself henceforth.)
well, yes: IF the result of the encoding is to be used in a header, the
restrictions on headers from RFC 2822 (or 5322) apply, and RFC 2047 reminds the
reader of this fact. however, encoded-words may be used in other contexts,
however uncommon this may be, and so the maximum line length is not a property
of the RFC 2047 encoding itself.
