MailScanner not parsing dumaru-y MIME headers

Rolled MailScanner Message.pm back to 4.27.3-1, then ran the patch.
MailScanner runs fine (no more looping scans or missing headers). I'll know
pretty soon if this fixes the dumaru-y problems.

Please try this patch to Message.pm. I have tried to post a new Message.pm
a couple of times already, but it seems to disappear down the toilet :-(
