I received two messages today with the same problem, a blank line added
after a long References: field.  Trouble is both messages were from the
Linux-Kernel mailing list which apparently is using majordomo!

Apparent software download stream of that is:

	Postfix
	SMTPD32 6.06	(a windows server program)
	fetchmail 5.9.8
	sendmail 8.11.6

The headers are apparently intact when processed by Mailman and Majordomo
and mailing list info is attached.

I'd like to hear from others to compare the Received: fields after the
mailing list software is done.

While I believe the line splitting is a Mailman problem (the email package
mentioned above), the added blank line is coming from somewhere down the
processing line.
