Aihe: [EXIM] Truncating MIME headers?

There has been some news lately about the fact that certain folk are
exploiting a bug in some email clients. This bug compromises security if
the MIME headers are long enough to overflow the buffers alloted to them.

The Sendmail folk have produced a patch that allows the admin to truncate
MIME headers in the MTA, before they can do such damage:
http://www.sendmail.com/sendmail.8.9.1a.html

Is such a facility worth considering in Exim?
