No doubled "Subject:" headers. Everything looks just fine, as a matter
of unpleasant fact. I'd be happier if it didn't.

At least I _finally_ convinced the Powers That Be that the MailScanner

the other end of the SMTP connection directly.

I'm still checking the rest of the parms for oddities, mistakes,
and just plain screwups.
