It would be even more reasonable for the original composing agent to do
line splitting for 78 characters _before_ doing the RFC 2047 encoding
I don't see how that helps. you're just going to get irregular line
breaks. and the sending agent isn't really any better at wrapping
for presentation than the receiving agent.
The line breaks would be irregular when viewed as naked undecoded RFC
2047. But they would look exactly correct when viewed after decoding,
which is how they are intended to be viewed.
