Handle MIME encoded-word in DKIM-Signature headers
As recently found in patatt [1], mail gateways and archivers may mangle headers like DKIM-Signature if they are sent as an excessively long line. An example of this occuring was found when the DKIM-Signature header generated by Microsoft Office 365 collided with the header re-encoding performed by lists.sr.ht when generating mbox archive files. This encoding causes dkim.verify() to fail. The Python email.header module provides the decode_header() and make_header() functions which can be used to handle MIME encoded-word syntax or other header manglings which may occur. Fixing up the header content using these functions before calling dkim.verify() allows the verification to succeed.
