Thanks for the pointers Ken.   Sorry I completely forgot to put anything
usefull in my post:

Cyrus v2.1.10, [thanks to Simon's wonderful RPMS], SASL 2.1.7 [stock
redhat], Evolution 1.2, and Mozilla 1.2.1 as the MUAs.

If I insert a ':' in the From line, it breaks Mozilla, but I will make a
little snake [Python] to see if I can control the environment better and
try again.


Is there a MIME header validator that is written?  In Perl, or Python,
well... anything but C++ would do.
