That's very bad if it can ever happen to 'live' email. The POP3 proxy will
never do this - when modifying messages it uses a deliberately naive
'parser' (which is "so simple that it obviously has no flaws") that will
either work perfectly or fail cleanly (notwithstanding protocol errors,
with apologies to François 8-). This business of failing to parse headers
only affects the way messages are displayed on the Review page.
