__init__(): The docstring 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.

Optional maxheaderlen specifies the longest length for a non-continued
header. When a header line is longer (in characters, with tabs
expanded to 8 spaces), than maxheaderlen, the header will be broken on
semicolons and continued as per RFC 2822. If no semicolon is found,
then the header is left alone. Set to zero to disable wrapping
headers. Default is 78, as recommended (but not required by RFC
2822.
