Comment (by pdewacht):
We're using django-post-office as email backend. It stores the messages in
a database table and tries to put the subject in a varchar(989). That blew
up when we had a log message that was unexpectedly long.
Personally I prefer truncating over line wrapping -- multiline subject
headers seem esoteric even if it's true that it's technically allowed. I
fear it will cause interoperability problems (see e.g. django-post-office
breaking).
