It seems that by rfc2047 there is no multi-line subject spec. A subject with multi-line will be always conflated to one single line. And also that if we just generate the subject within multi-line just like the current implemention, yes, we can modify the git-am to decode it correctly, but most of the mail client will can not show it correctly.

So it seems that there is only one way that combining the whole first paragraph to a single line? But it will be a nightmare for some long comment.
