In response to my last post on this list, I got email from Joseph
Junkin saying that my mail looked really strange on his system.
Apparently, something is inserting blank lines into the header which
obviously screws things up. I'm attaching a sample below.
I'm using qmail for outgoing mail on my end, he's using qmail for
incoming mail on his end.
Oddly, if I use a different mailer (still going out through qmail) it
works ok. But I can't see any obvious problem in the headers from the
bad mailer. I even tried setting up the mailer to dump mail out
through 'qmail-inject -n' and the result looks fine (no blank lines).
If I send mail to another non-local account of mine, it looks fine.
I've sent mail to other people with no problems. As far as I can
tell, the problem only occurs if I use one specific mailer and send
mail to Joseph.
I also noticed that my two previous posts to this list didn't end up
in the www.ornl.gov archive. Maybe they're being discarded because of
the same problem?
I'm sending this post using the possibly-bad mailer, if anyone wants
to look at the headers.
If anyone has any clue on this, I'd really appreciate some hints.

blank lines in the header:
