On that note - here's an unrelated simple case that the old mailinfo got
right, but the new one seems to screw up: multiple Subject: lines.
The old one would make later Subject: lines override the earlier ones, and
I depended on that when I fix up peoples emails to me manually (you
wouldn't believe how bad explanations or subject lines people use for
perfectly good patches ;)
The current mailinfo seems to just take the first one.
