A couple of guesses ... see the two highlighted lines, and comments
at the end of this posting.

As well, it is not obvious from your post, but I have had trouble
doing the same thing as the above if I just use <LF> for the newlines.
The RFCs on this indicate that <CR><LF> are required for newline terminators
inside the headers or sub-headers. Very important for some strict mail\
clients.
