I guess 1.1.rc9 will still come. But I'll wait a couple of days before
releasing it to see if there are more bugs..

Works, thank you.

Now I have to fix users mbox files.

As the extra linefeed is between Content-Length and Subject headers,
I'm thinking about using a regexp based replace such as
s/(Content-Length: [0-9]+)\n\n(Subject: )/$1\n$2/s
but I can't find how to make multiple lines matching work.

Any suggestion?

Regards,
Diego.
