better not have a non-header line after Subject

better not have a non-header line after Subject

[Dan Jacobson]

Both plain emacs 22 or "No gnus", send differently mangled mail when given

Subject: bla, and
a second non header line starting in column 1

Garbage in, garbage out, but not caught.

There is code in mail-send to detect that:

	;; Complain about any invalid line.
	(goto-char (point-min))
	(while (< (point) (mail-header-end))
	  (unless (looking-at "[ \t]\\|.*:\\|$")
	    (push-mark opoint)
	    (error "Invalid header line (maybe a continuation line lacks 
initial whitespace)"))
	  (forward-line 1))

But mail-header-end seems to be broken: it calls rfc822-goto-eoh instead
of searching for the mail-header-separator (either the text on a line by
itself or the category text property value).

That's how continuation lines work...
