…s are sound (pythonGH-122233) GH-GH- Encode header parts that contain newlines Per RFC 2047: > [...] these encoding schemes allow the > encoding of arbitrary octet values, mail readers that implement this > decoding should also ensure that display of the decoded data on the > recipient's terminal will not cause unwanted side-effects It seems that the "quoted-word" scheme is a valid way to include a newline character in a header value, just like we already allow undecodable bytes or control characters. They do need to be properly quoted when serialized to text, though.
