mlmmj should stop parsing headers when two newlines are met like the
spec claims.

That's why when I add a From: on the beginning of a line after a
newline, that From: isn't picked up.

Could you look in a hex editor or such, to see if there's something
making mlmmj believe there's more headers? Space or tab is enough to
make it continue.

Well, can you trigger it with Thunderbird, by writing From: somewhere
after a newline?
