Relaxing a few checks

It is indeed another solution, that has the advantage of keeping
trace of the removal of empty header fields.


In your patch:

  $emptyhdrs=join(", " , @emptyHdrs);
  while (length ($emptyhdrs) >975 ){ #998-length "X-Mailpost-Empty-Hdrs: ")
         $emptyhdrs=substr($emptyhdrs,0,rindex($emptyhdrs,","));
  }

Instead of stripping a possible too long line, why not keep all
the header field names and use folding?

For instance with:

  $emptyhdrs=join("\n\t" , @emptyHdrs);

I think it would make the code simpler, and permit to keep everything.


Of course, if you fear one may inject overlong header field names,
it is possible to retain only "normal" ones with a truncation or
an additional condition.  For instance:

  push (@emptyHdrs, substr($1, 0, 975));
or
  push (@emptyHdrs, $1) if length($1) < 975;

when filling the array.  Maybe the truncation is the better solution.
