A followup to my own message, I pulled my raw mailbox file from my server 
in binary mode.  Unfortunately there is no longer one of Jim's messages in 
there with the wrapped subject, but in other wrapped header lines there is 
only a LF terminator, *not* a CRLF.  (I have the messages stay on my server 
for a day before they are deleted.)
