Bug in 4.58.9 ?

[Denis Beauchemin]

Hello,

Yesterday I got sendmail errors on 10 emails processed by MS.  Sendmail 
complained about invalid lines in the q* file.  Turns out the subject 
line had many returns (^M) while there was an unencoded accented 
character on the subject line.

Here is an example from a Q* file:
HX-Mailer: WhatCounts
HX-UdeS-MailScanner: Aucun code suspect =?ISO-8859-1?Q?d=E9tect=E9?=
HX-MailScanner-SpamCheck: n'est pas un polluriel, SpamAssassin (not cached,
        score=-1.103, requis 4.5, BASE64_LENGTH_79_INF 1.50, BAYES_00 -2.60)
HSubject:

Jean-Fran?ois, envoyez des messages qui en disent long
HX-Spam-Status: No

The subject line has ^M that sendmail doesn't like.  I just removed them 
and renamed the Q* files to q* and then sendmail was happy to send them.

I'm not sure if the problem comes from the sender but I received over 
2000 emails from them yesterday and only 9 had this problem.

Here are the details about my MS setup:
