On GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.10.13) of

I am not sure whether this conforms to rfc822, but anyway rmail looped

Reproducing this depends on your configuration, but if you want I can
build a fake mail message that you can then read using C-u M-x rmail
RET, and send it to you as an attachment.
