I have been able to determine a bit more information about the messages that
are having the subjects mangled.

1. It only happens on messages that have very long subjects
2. When it happens, the entire subject is being put on a line by itself
AFTER the subject header
3. The subject is being prefixed, on the next line, with a tab character.

Here's an example:

X-MailScanner: Found to be clean
Subject: [Interlug]
[tab]Get COMMON's web banner... and "March 9-13 in Indy" materials
X-BeenThere: interlug at midrange.com

(I replaced the actual tab character with [tab], in case it isn't obvious).

Note: The *SAME* thing happened on a thread with the subject "Odd message
body "/root/8e8Ta4: Permission denied" (2.1b2)" started by Nick Arnett in
this mailing list.

Does this help at all?
