MUST never verify and call it a day.
+1. This makes more sense to me than trying to enumerate all the
possible effects of malformed messages on naive programs.
An explicit example may help to motivate the reader ("Invalid
messages must never verify; for example messages with multiple
Subject:, From: or To: header fields").
s/must/MUST/, and then +1
