Replying to [comment:31 pdmef]:
> I updated the patch and added two new "features". First, it distincts
between display and sending case: for display, it folds with tab and
whatever we have for sending. Second, it determines whether trying to fold
is necessary at all and only does so if it needs to. This means most of
the time we print verbatim headers so that damage is less likely. This
fixes #3135.

Unfortunately I "tested" the updated patch in practice; it creates havoc
with the headers when sending.
The simpler first version seemed to work ok.
Just some layman's feedback as I'm quite interested in this issue.
