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:

Python 3.7.0a0 (heads/master:e613e6add5, Jun 27 2017, 12:17:18) 
>>> from email.policy import SMTP; SMTP.fold('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename="{}"'.format('1234567890' + '1234567890' * 6))
