A continuation line *MUST* start with whitespace. This is fundamental
to email parsing.

If you insert a space at the start of the "<someother".. line, then
$rh_from: and $h_from: both include the full data. If you don't, then
neither does.

Neither one sees more content than the other.

For testing, you can put the above lines into a file "foo" and then run
"exim -bem foo" -- this is like "exim -be", but with many variables
initialised based on the email in file specified on the command-line.
