Well, that depends on what you mean by "multi-line".  If what you
mean is "has a CRLF embedded in it to begin with", then I think
you're correct, because RFC 2822 section 2.2.3 says
  Each header field is logically a single line of characters  comprising the field name, the colon, and the field
body.

_But_ if you mean "too long for the standard 78 characters per line",
though, you're mistaken.  Please see RFC 2822 section 2.2.3 for more.
