I just noticed that the following passage in RFC 822:
The process of moving from this folded multiple-line
representation of a header field to its single line represen-
tation is called "unfolding". Unfolding is accomplished by
regarding CRLF immediately followed by a LWSP-char as
equivalent to the LWSP-char.
is not being honored by the email module. The following two invocations
of message_from_string() should return the same value, but that's not
what happens:
>>> import email
>>> email.message_from_string("Subject: blah").get('SUBJECT')
'blah'
>>> email.message_from_string("Subject:\n blah").get('SUBJECT')
' blah'
Note the space in front of the second value returned, but missing from
the first. Can someone convince me that this is not a bug?
