Details are on the other list's archive, where this problem has had more
discussion :)  From memory there were 2 I saw, one that was concatenated with
the Received header, another that seemed to be missing the closing >.

What I, personally, would like is that any "broken" message (missing the
header line separator, addresses with invalid format etc), could optionally be
forwarded as a plain text attachment to the postamster address.  That way
those who want to receive everything can, and those who're happy to lose it on
the assumption is spam/virus/whatever related can drop it.


PLEASE - keep list traffic on the list.  Email sent directly to me may be
ignored utterly.
