i can only answer question 2 for you:

no. it is legal to wrap header-lines. consider the Received: header for a
common example.

from RFC 2822, ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2822.txt :


2.1.1. Line Length Limits

   There are two limits that this standard places on the number of
   characters in a line. Each line of characters MUST be no more than 998
   characters, and SHOULD be no more than 78 characters, excluding the
   CRLF.

[...]

2.2. Header Fields

   Header fields are lines composed of a field name, followed by a colon
   (":"), followed by a field body, and terminated by CRLF. A field name
   MUST be composed of printable US-ASCII characters (i.e., characters
   that have values between 33 and 126, inclusive), except colon. A field
   body may be composed of any US-ASCII characters, except for CR and LF.
   However, a field body may contain CRLF when used in header "folding"
   and "unfolding" as described in section 2.2.3. All field bodies MUST
   conform to the syntax described in sections 3 and 4 of this standard.


etcetera. section 2.2.3 and 3.2.3. elaborate some more, but i won't bore
the list with more quotes :)
