Found an issue in email.policy.SMTP.fold on "Content-Disposition" headers for long filenames with spaces. Managed to simply the issue to a test case as follows:

>>> from email.policy import SMTP; SMTP.fold('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename="{}"'.format('1234 67890' + '1234567890' * 6))

Below are the tracebacks various python versions produces for this code. I think that the difference between python 3.5 - 3.6 and 3.7 are related to the fix in bpo-30532.

Python 3.6.1 (default, Apr  7 2017, 09:32:32) & Python 3.5.3 (default, Jan 17 2017, 14:34:36)

Note that the following example without a space does not cause a traceback:

>>> from email.policy import SMTP; SMTP.fold('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename="{}"'.format('1234567890' + '1234567890' * 6))

Just wanted to ping this and see if there was someone available to review my PR associated with this issue.

Thanks for the PR, but I've managd to finish my rewrite of the folder so that it not only doesn't traceback on this, but correctly folds it.  I'll probably post the PR tomorrow.

I just took a quick peek at your PR to see if a similar test exists from this bug and it is looking good. Thanks for your work.
