Fix infinite loop in email.message.EmailMessage.as_string() with long parameter keys
The infinite loop occurred in _fold_mime_parameters() when processing MIME parameters
with very long keys (64 characters) during RFC 2231 encoding. The issue was in
two locations:
1. In email._header_value_parser._fold_mime_parameters():
- Replace infinite 'while True:' loop with 'while splitpoint > 1:'
- Ensure splitpoint is always at least 1 to prevent getting stuck
- Add fallback logic to force minimal splits when values cannot fit
2. In email.header._ValueFormatter._append_chunk():
- Add safety check for extremely long strings that cannot be split
- Force line breaks when no suitable split points are found
- Prevent infinite loops in header folding for edge cases
This fixes GitHub issue #138223 where add_attachment() with long parameter
keys would cause as_string() to hang indefinitely during MIME parameter
folding and header processing.1 parent c779f23 commit 0a747e5
