Um... what's up with this?

Oooo... One Additional Data Point.
Just before the delivery, I call formail to insert a header, and ...
the string ends with [>"], and ...
The problem only manifests itself on items with a three-digit PID.
Items with a four-digit PID just have the ["] character.
Consider:
.IN-apple/cur/1069720698.632_2.>"lucite.kapu.net:2,S
.IN-apple/cur/1069722864.1221_2."lucite.kapu.net:2,S
.IN-apple/cur/1069757115.10065_2.lucite.kapu.net:2,S
I think that formail is either corrupting a buffer, or the delivery
portion of the code is not paying attention to the length of a string
at some point, and is just ASSUMEing that it is 5, when sometimes it is
4 or 3. Or less.
For now, I think I'm going to try and find something to add to the end
of that string.
Aloha mai Nai`a!
