	Depends on what your trying to find, but I've been inclined to put
	"echo" statements between groups of rules to catch where the 
	errors are occurring and then narrow the search from there.
	
	?? 40 character line wrap on your MTA?  or b0rked script?
	if the line wraps are like that in the script ... you need to fix that 
	before anything else.   If the wraps are from your MTA ... thats okay.
