Hmmmm... I would have though that the only tool that should even be
scanning for that pattern should be inc (since it parses a message
stream and might need to see several successive messages in one
session, which is also why I use procmail to throw them into a
pseudo-inbox folder from which I draw them later---one message, one
procmail, no confusion). The rest of the tools know when they're done
with the header and shouldn't expect to see anything about the headers
in that message.
I don't have anything against Content-Length, I just don't see why
anything but inc should even care. What am I missing?
