i believe there was consensus that a) this behavior was a result
of a problem with the original content encoding, and that b) the
nmh decoder should be more tolerant when decoding, and simply
pass mis-codings through untouched.

I'd have to think *real* hard about that.  I suspect that passing mis-codings
through without a complaint is possibly setting us up for a nasty security
exposure.  I'm not convinced that it isn't possible to create an intentional
bad encoding that causes issues further down the line.
