Investigating why a DKIM signature (relaxed/simple) occasionally breaks
on mail to one of our users but not for the rest, it turned out his mail
was being forwarded internally by a sendmail MTA running on a workstation,
while others were delivered directly (through Postfix).

The particular type of message that breaks is generated by a Eudora MUA,
which does not insert spaces after commas in a To: header field.
Forwarding (or delivering to a mailbox) through sendmail (tried 8.14.2,
8.14.2, 8.13.3) gratuitously inserts a space after commas in a list,
which is not tolerated even by a 'relaxed' canonicalization in DKIM.

This turns a:

To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

into:

To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
        <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

invalidating a DKIM signature.

It would be nice to fix the intrusive reformatting of a mail header.
