Apparently syntactically invalid
In experimenting with different approaches to forwarding
mail from Windows/Outlook Express out to my Linux/Exim account, I cut and
pasted several messages to a Windows file, then accessed those file from
Linux and sent it back via exim with a header added. Linux had
identified those files as in 'dos mode' and apparently there is something
therein which puts them at variance with RFC 822
Otherwise the header information was correctly inserted into those files
before exim sent them out
