seeing some awfully funky stuff.

This is an actual Message-ID header in one of the messages in dnsop.
Is that valid?  Even though the MIME decodes to a an ASCII message ID
in the <string@domain> format, I think the answer is no.  That's not
what RFC 5322 sec 3.6 allows.

I'll see your Message-ID, and raise you a... not even sure *what* to call it. :)

From my collection of emails that give exmh indigestion:

Amazingly enough, this managed to collect 10 Received: headers, land in my
mailbox, and exmh *mostly* figured it out:

From: tip-bot for David Brown <tipbot(_at_)zytor(_dot_)com>@zytor.com

ted from these emails
Mime-version: 1.0
Content-transfer-encoding: 8bit
Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-disposition: inline

But then finally gave up because it tried to use the undecoded content-type,
gave up, and tossed up a "save/print/don't decode MIME" dialog.

And yes, tip-bot got fixed quite quickly thereafter... :)
