- What do you think about implementing re-folding headers to make mail RFC-compliant again (ie. fix what outlook spolied)?

Unfortunately that can break DKIM signatures.

True, but only if the signer is using 'simple' header canonicalization, in which case they surely must expect and so deserve to have their signatures broken.

Yes, I'm MOSTLY serious.

Ah.
Now I have my head around header canonicalization I agree and am relieved;
we don't need to worry too much about breaking DKIM.

Would we need a setting to say whether to break or reject messages with simple header canonicalization and long headers, or is it clear which we should do ?
