Turns out the dumb thing was simple: I was testing if the FETCH line was
followed by mail headers by looking for:
"\\(From\\|To\\|Subject\\|Date\\|Message-ID\\)"
Which is obviously insufficient. I've since changed it to:
"\\([A-Z][[:ascii:]-]+: \\)"
Which works better, but also seems susceptible to breakage due to
ignorance. A quick scan doesn't turn up any `mail-header-regexp'
variables or `this-is-a-mail-header-p' functions -- does the above
regexp seem reasonable?
