Source Code

;; Defined in /usr/src/emacs/lisp/mail/rfc2047.el.gz
;; From RFC 2047:
;; 2. Syntax of encoded-words
;;    [...]
;;    While there is no limit to the length of a multiple-line header
;;    field, each line of a header field that contains one or more
;;    'encoded-word's is limited to 76 characters.
;;
;; In `rfc2047-encode-parameter' it is bound to nil, so don't defconst it.
