nmail 0.1.75-pre6 crashes

Dear Joshua,
I found a bug in the nmail version above:
If the mailbox contains a message with non-standard
email-headers the nmail binary crashes and a "internal
server error" is reported to the user. One example are
messages generated with Lotus Notes, which contain a
header named "Content-Disposition:".
As non-standard headers are often used You should
ignore unknown headers completely.
Thank You,
Michael Engert.

All non-standard headers are ignored. Nwebmail will look at certain headers if they match, but ignore the rest.
There was a problem found a while ago where nwebmail would crash if there was a parameter delimiter ';' on the end of the content-disposition line (or any header for that matter). Parameter delimiters are SUPPOSED to be followed by another parameter according to the RFC's. However, I found some mail clients do not follow the rule. Either way, nwebmail should not have just segv. Two line fix.
I've actually had this fix for some time, but it never made it into a relese version until now. Check out the latest nwebmail-0.1.80 and that should fix your problem.
Josh
