Additional blank line inserted into header, Postfix 2.0.18-4

[Julian Field]

Header names are not allowed to have spaces in them. If you add a header (or
someone else adds a header) whose name contains a space, then you (or they)
are breaking an important bit of RFC822 (or 2822) and all sorts of nasty
things will happen.
