  Log:
  Include check_rfc2047_length in configure.default to raise the visibility
  because we're seeing more Russian administrators get bitten by this.


Idealism says this option is set correctly by default. Pragmatism says not.
There's a good argument for the idealism but if we see the problems escalate
then the idealism will have lost and we should, IMO, switch.
