AdminEmailHandler.format_subject() is careful to stay under the 998
character limit of RFC 2822:
Escape CR and LF characters, and limit length.
RFC 2822's hard limit is 998 characters per line. So, minus
"Subject: "
the actual subject must be no longer than 989 characters.
However, it forgets that the mail_admins function will prepend
EMAIL_SUBJECT_PREFIX. After that's done, the subject line will again
exceed to RFC limit.
Either the truncation needs to be moved to a lower level in the mail
system, or format_subject needs to be adjusted to account for
EMAIL_SUBJECT_PREFIX.
