Yep. We were actually offered a patch on Majordomo's mailing list, a
couple of days ago. It made a lot of sense to me -- it was kinda
obvious that without it, multiline stuff would be truncated. What I'm
not sure about is why it would apply only to Subject: and not, say,
to Received:

Marc would need to install it to see if it fixes things. (It may be
smarter to install a test list somewhere else, replicate then problem,
then apply to patch and prove that the problem no longer occurs; but I'm
rather short on time to do it myself)
