Subject: [PATCH] Avoid composing too long "References" header.
Message-ID: <20070406.085024.18669509.yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org>

```
The number of characters in a line MUST be no more than 998 characters,
and SHOULD be no more than 78 characters (RFC2822).
It is much safer to fold the header by ourselves.
