  https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5545#section-3.1:

   Lines of text SHOULD NOT be longer than 75 octets, excluding the line
   break.  Long content lines SHOULD be split into a multiple line
   representations using a line "folding" technique.  That is, a long
   line can be split between any two characters by inserting a CRLF
   immediately followed by a single linear white-space character (i.e.,
   SPACE or HTAB).  Any sequence of CRLF followed immediately by a
   single linear white-space character is ignored (i.e., removed) when
   processing the content type.

  The fold function splits a string across graphemes if the byte-size of the substring will
  exceed the max_size. It then adds a CRLF and an empty space at the split-point.
