Description
The <br />
email module, specifically the "BytesGenerator" class, didn’t properly quote newlines for email headers when <br />
serializing an email message allowing for header injection when an email<br />
is serialized. This is only applicable if using "LiteralHeader" writing headers that don&#39;t respect email folding rules, the new behavior will reject the incorrectly folded headers in "BytesGenerator".
