Hmm... More on header mangling...
In-ter-esting.
Got a note that was sent to a yahoogroup, and to one of my mailman lists simultaneously.
Mailman did the "mangle the header line prematurely ending the headers" trick to it. But for once I can see what the header looked like originally!
In the yahoo group note it came out as:
X-Face: 34C9$Ewd2zeX+\!i1BA\j{ex+$/V'JBG#;3_noWWYPa"|,I#R"{n@w>#:{)FXyiAS7(8t( ^*w5O*!8O9YTe[r{e%7(yVRb|qxsRYw7J!`AM}m_SHaj}f8eb@d^L>BrX7iO[<!v4-0bVIpaxF#-)
%9#a9h6JXI|T|8o6t\V?kGl]Q!1V]GtNliUtz:3},0"hkPeBuu%E,j(:\iOX-P,t7lRR#
In my list I got X-Face: 34C9$Ewd2zeX+\!i1BA\j{ex+$/V'JBG#; 3_noWWYPa"|,I#`R"{n@w>#:{)FXyiAS7(8t(
^*w5O*!8O9YTe[r{e%7(yVRb|qxsRYw`7J!`AM}m_SHaj}f8eb@d^L>BrX7iO[<!v4-0bVIpaxF#-)%9#a9h6JXI|T|8o6t\V?kGl]Q!1V]GtNliUtz:3},0"hkPeBuu%E,j(:\iOX-P,t7lRR#
That indenting looks like what the pickling process does to things. I'm wondering now if three line continued headers are breaking the header processor..
I ran a test message with that header through a test list, and sure enough, mailman rewrapped and mangled that header in my test message, consistently!
I'm sent (here's the raw esmtp session I used:)

Note the break in the "X-Face" header...
I'm off to the code.. Or, perhaps, noting just now that it's after six on a friday and I'm still in the office, perhaps I'm off to the code on Monday :-)...

Which had me confused as hell for about 30 seconds, trying to figure out how one of my tests ended up routed through wooz.org! :-)
Now I just need to figure out why!
Note that my "three line header" idea got shot to hell when I chopped the third line of and it still acquired the extra new line. It's showing up that way in the pickle, so it's either email's parseheaders (I'm thinking there might be some subtle error with a "too long" line and how it's interacting with "NL.join") or with the pickling process. Since the extra nl is in the pickle, everyone downstream in the pipeline just inhereits the problem.

Because anyone can find the easy ones?
