Hi sm,

There is a discussion about that in Section 3.2.3 of RFC 5322.

Thank you for the reference.
I guess you meant section 2.2.3. :-)
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-2.2.3

What I understand: it is recommended to use folding between items, even when it is allowed to fold in the middle of an item. But from section 3.6.4 it seems that it is not allowed to fold in the middle of References item (defined as "msg-id" in ABNF, by reading the penultimate paragraph of section 3.6.4).

So it seems that References header is badly formatted for two reasons: too long (998 limit is a MUST, I didn't know that), and folding does not happen in an allowed place. I may be wrong (after a first very quick look at the RFC).

By the way, I've noticed that the 998 limit is respected... if you ignore the header name. :-) So it looks like more a simple bug than poor consideration for the standard.

Sorry to bother all of you with my thoughts, at least now the problem is far clearer to me.

  Bruno.
