Fix a bug in the folding of comments when flattening an email message using a modern email policy. Comments consisting of a very long sequence of non-foldable characters could trigger a forced line wrap that omitted the required leading space on the continuation line, causing the remainder of the comment to be interpreted as a new header field. This enabled header injection with carefully crafted inputs.
(cherry picked from commit 17d1490)
