I would start producing legal messages (e.g. with the "email"
package) and then put in common standard violations.
I am using the XEmacs "vm" email package and it has
difficulties with the quoting of non-ascii characters
in header lines (it performes the quoting based on non-ascii
character sequences rather than on words, as it should).
Maybe, there is an email message catalog around for the test
of email servers/clients. I would check for this in corresponding
open source projects.
