^ this.  In almost all cases the line isn't actually binding.
 
The hand is folded if you verbally announce fold, or if you push/toss/move your cards towards the dealer and release them.  If you haven't done either of those things (ie: they're still in your hand, or they're still capped and on the felt, and you haven't said "fold") then they're still live.
 
The TDA doesn't seem to have a rule for what does and doesn't constitute a fold.  Rule 28 speaks to the dealer's ability to kill an unprotected hand though:

So long story short, always protect your hand (put a chip or something else on top of your cards) if you're not folding it.[/LEFT]
