Dear Community,

The RFC standards mandate that no line longer than 999 chars may appear in 
the raw message contents.

When a mail with more than 20 or 30 recipients is being sent, the length of 
the "To:" or "Cc:" may reach that limit and needs to be split in order to 
fit.

Other mail programs than K-9 tend to enumerate all the recipients one per 
line, each line ending with a comma when continued, and each continuation 
line starting with one or more spaces.
In opposition, K-9 places all the recipients in one single big line, then 
splits it in fragments of 999 chars. Lines of more than 975 characters seem 
to break downstream SMTP servers (Postfix ? OpenDKIM ? Postgrey ?)

Has someone experienced in such cases pieces of the header appearing in the 
e-mail body ?

Has someone to complain that Gmail reject messages with the following error 
message ?

host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[108.177.127.27]
