If this works as expected, all the headers below the subject line should
end up in the mail body.

I've been tracking this bug for a while, apparently mailman's header parsing
chokes  when you  have a  header  that contains  more than  80 (maybe  100?)
characters in a row without a space.

This breaks horribly when you run spamassassin, due to headers like:
X-Spam-Status: No, hits=2.0 required=7.0 tests=SUBJ_ENDS_IN_Q_MARK,TO_LOCALPART_EQ_REAL,X_NOT_PRESENT,RCVD_IN_VADUL,X_RCVD_IN_DUL_FH version=2.21

But it also breaks because outlook has a bug where Message-IDs listed in the
References header aren't always separated by spaces.

I'm hoping that Barry or someone else  can nail this quicker than I can find
out which part of mailman may even  be responsible for that (I'm still quite
busy hacking on exim and spamassassin for sf.net right now)
