E-mail message sent from cc:Mail with a file attachment, via Worldtalk
NetJunction gateway. I've captured the message out of SMTP and out of
LMail. In both cases, the Content-type line is folded between parameters,
thus:

>Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
>    boundary="---- =_WT17695.35cb5df4.0a0/hqrtmta1.doe.gov"

This is good; it works just fine. But, if the message is sent to a Listserv
list, the line gets split thusly:

>Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="----
>              =_WT17695.35cb5df4.0a0/hqrtmta1.doe.gov"

It appears that Listserv is re-flowing that line, and breaking at the first
white-space encountered on a right-to-left scan, not withstanding the fact
that the white-space is inside a quoted string!

Has anyone else seen this, or have a fix/circumvention?
