That makes sense. Apologies for my misreading. Thanks for taking time to 
explain that. 

I think there is still something strange here since it's unnecessarily using 
encoded words when it could just "fold" without them. My tests with gmail show 
that it accepts a multi-line dkim-signature headers but does not handle the 
encoded words syntax.

While not python's job to maintain compatibility with gmail, I suspect many 
DKIM implementations don't expect encoded words syntax and thus this change 
could cause many email handling systems to break.

I'll dig in more and open a separate ticket. Thank you again for your time.
