[Mailman-Developers] Bug between mailman 2.0/2.1 and outlook reference field.

[Marc MERLIN]

Ok, so the problem is that outlook generates reference headers like this:
References: <F83CnzNwRC6HixqDCZx0000127b@hotmail.com><004001c1fe06$3f5be350$a3c5e80c@MoeA> <011c01c1fe07$6d8edd30$647ba8c0@C1912731A>

Note that there is no space between the first and second items.
I haven't checked in the RFCs, but I'm fairly sure it's invalid.

Unfortunately, mailman kind of chockes on it.
It fails to parse it and throws some of the headers in the body
