Generator's constructor: The documentation was incorrect regarding how 

header wrapping gets done when maxheaderlen <> 0.  The header really
gets wrapped via the email.Header.Header class, which has a more
sophisticated algorithm than just splitting on semi-colons.

Optional \var{maxheaderlen} specifies the longest length for a
non-continued header. When a header line is longer than
\var{maxheaderlen} (in characters, with tabs expanded to 8 spaces),
the header will be broken on semicolons and continued as per
\rfc{2822}. If no semicolon is found, then the header is left alone.
Set to zero to disable wrapping headers. Default is 78, as
the header will be split as defined in the \module{email.Header}
class. Set to zero to disable header wrapping. The default is 78, as
recommended (but not required) by \rfc{2822}.
