Thanks silane for the report and script. The case where max_line_length=0 causing ValueError was introduced with b938c8c25316b69f1d5df2c7880a9f6b87e7c2fa and the code at [0] has some comments regarding the minimum value to be 4 characters. There was another case where policy can have max_line_length=0 but it's with respect to folding issue33524. Maybe this behavior can be documented better for set_content method with respect to the minimum value ?

Long lines will have the 'soft line break' quoted-printable character "=" appended to them, so the decoded text will be identical to the original text. The minimum maxlinelen is 4 to have room for a quoted character ("=XX") followed by a soft line break. Smaller values will generate a ValueError.
