Lines/Content-Length headers mean nothing to Mailman.

Clearly, Mailman received a message with an embedded, unescaped From_. The question is why was the From_ not escaped in the archiver. Standard GNU Mailman 2.1.12 does escape the From_ during archiving.

There is a Debian patch (77_header_folding_in_attachments.patch) which can cause this problem. The issue that the Debian patch addresses was properly addressed upstream in 2.1.13. Perhaps RedHat picked up the bad Debian patch somehow or has its own bad patch?
