Re: Problem with MIME and line length in Subject headers

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.

you can't be sure that all of the encoded-words will be decoded and
presented by the destination.  nor can you be sure about the width of 
the characters if/when they are presented.
