+Fix bug in the folding of quoted strings when flattening an email message
+using a modern email policy. Previously when a quoted string was folded so

+Fix a potential denial of service in the :mod:`imaplib` module. When

+memory is only a mapping, but if this hit a virtual address size limit it
+could lead to a :exc:`MemoryError` or other process crash. On unusual

+ram or storage it could've consumed resources doing so until similarly
