Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:

My apologies for misunderstanding. Feature removal requests are sufficiently 
rare that I thought you were posting a mockup of what you wanted to be able to 
do, as many others have done. So we definitely agree on that example. I changed 
the title to be a little clearer that stricter checking is desired.

Unless that example violates a prohibition in the docs, removing this bad 
feature is still a feature request. The point is moot, however, since RDM is 
working on a mail module overhaul (for 3.2, I hope) and I doubt previous 
versions will be separately patched. I will let him decide if examples like 
this can be sensibly prohibited without disabling something that should be 
allowed.

title: email.header.Header allows to embed raw newlines into a message -> 
email.header.Header too lax with embeded newlines
