From f8d3bcc77eb72d354d14ae7c72d40aace3c42c27 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Barry Warsaw Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2003 02:22:36 +0000 Subject: Generator's constructor: The documentation was incorrect regarding how header wrapping gets done when maxheaderlen <> 0. The header really gets wrapped via the email.Header.Header class, which has a more sophisticated algorithm than just splitting on semi-colons. --- Doc/lib/emailgenerator.tex | 5 ++--- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/Doc/lib/emailgenerator.tex b/Doc/lib/emailgenerator.tex index 96eb268..330abc0 100644 --- a/Doc/lib/emailgenerator.tex +++ b/Doc/lib/emailgenerator.tex @@ -40,9 +40,8 @@ mailbox format files.
