Here you insert the "\n" directly at the start of "mine", so the test
"does it contain S-o-b at the beginning of a line" does not count the
first line. Probably fine, as somebody putting a S-o-b in their subject
deserves whatever they get.

But...

Here you are more careful about finding S-o-b at sb->buf.

I don't think it really matters in practice, but it's an interesting
inconsistency.

Other than that (and I do not think it is worth re-rolling for this;
just an interesting observation), the patch looks OK to me.
