Folds body lines? I'm not sure, you are talking about a somehow MIME
encoded body, or about any body (including a plain text (MIME headers
absent) body)?

Or did I get somethow wrong?
Because I wouldn't expect to get my my plain text non-mime body lines
folded in any way. But I could accept a server rejecting my message
because of overlong physical body lines.
