Sounds reasonable, but could you describe a symptom?  The main
priority for git imap-send is that it must successfully get patches to
the other end, not that it follow RFC 5322.  (Of course one affects
the other; I am just saying an example of what this breaks would be
helpful.  If this is only a theoretical problem for now, it still
would be worth fixing, just a lower priority.)

Also, (because I am lazy) do you know of a very simple IMAP server one
could use to reproduce this?  It would be nice to add a test for this
to the git test suite, but without such a shim, that might be hard.

Thanks,
Jonathan
