Indeed, the current implementation is conservative; it does not
"lose" information in the event of malformed content (it does,
however, neutralize non-printable characters before logging).

How would one decide that a (message-id) header is not mangled?
This would require parsing the string, counting the "address"
tokens, and if there is only one "address" token, use that as the
logged message ID, otherwise log the entire original string.
But I wonder if it is really worth the trouble.
