(alias: message x of y) added to wrong place

[Annya]

I discovered a little bug in your program. The
(alias: message x of y)
string that is added to the Subject: line of the
forwarded messages should be put on a line of its
own and not appended at the end of the Subject: line,
as that header could be occupying more than one lines.


Example:

A message containing the following headers:

From: .....
Subject: This is a msg with a ridiculously long subject header.
This is a msg with a ridiculously long subject header.
This is a msg with a ridiculously long subject header.
Date: .....

becomes:

From: .....
Subject: This is a msg with a ridiculously long subject header. (testalias: message 1 of 4)
This is a msg with a ridiculously long subject header.
This is a msg with a ridiculously long subject header.
Date: .....

which is obviously incorrect. It's easier to add the (alias: message x of y)
part on a line of its own, after all other Subject: lines, like this:

From: .....
Subject: This is a msg with a ridiculously long subject header.
This is a msg with a ridiculously long subject header.
This is a msg with a ridiculously long subject header.
(testalias: message 1 of 4)
Date: .....




Thanks for providing such a great service.

That's right, we are not handling the continuation lines correctly in all cases. I think it's a problem in the library we're using.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Is it really OK to have newlines in the subject?

Lines in the SMTP header can be broken. The continuation characters are blanks at the beginning of the line. Any header line beginning with blanks is a continuation of the current header field.
