I guess you meant section 2.2.3. :-)
Yes. :-)
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).
My reading of the "msg-id" (Section 3.6.4) is not to fold.
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).
Yes.
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.
I would list it as a bug. :-)
