Thanks.  I think that the commit message should note that only header field 
bodies are folded.  And because folding can only occur at whitespace, it is 
possible to end up with more than 78 bytes in a line.  How about this?

    mhbuild now folds header field bodies to avoid lines with more then 78 
bytes.

    This is required by RFC 5322 2.1.1. Line Length Limits.

I'll add the first line of the commit message to docs/pending-release-notes.  
And add the year to the copyright notice in fold.[hc].
