Re: [Nmh-workers] Format function to create wrapped header lines?

Hi Ken,

Vertically?  Otherwise "<foo> <bar>" and "<foo>\n <bar>" isn't a lot
different.

Things that might complicate the code...  I've come across Reference
headers in the past where the message IDs have been truncated by
something so they're '<address@hidden'.  Not everything in the References header
is necessarily a simple message ID, e.g.

    To: address@hidden
    From: Paul Fox <address@hidden>
    In-reply-to: <address@hidden>
            (sfid-20140323_063434_994284_B0C77B71)
    References: <address@hidden>
            <address@hidden>
            (sfid-20140323_063434_994284_B0C77B71)
    Message-Id: <address@hidden>

I guess those "sfid"s are comments and legally OK?
