folded x-header altered

in theory x_headers should be included as is, in practice this isn't
always possible (i.e. ppl. using unecoded 8bit chars in a subject set
via x_headers etc.pp.) - we might fail to defolde and refolde those
headers (if we touch them at all, I didn't check the code). as a
quick fix I'd say: don't use folded headers in x_headers if possible
(as long as there are no 8bit chars in them they must not be
mime-encoded and thus can be 998 octets long).
