It seems that Evolution correctly creates the header with wrapped
headers as:

  Face:<crlf>
  <tab>... 997 more characters ...<crlf>
  <tab>...

However, some mail handling software (at least mailman and apparently
also the Debian list software) seems to rewrite the header resulting in
the following:

  Face:<space>... 997 more characters ...<crlf>
  <space>...

which means the first line ends up as 1003 characters. While this
technically may be a bug in that software it is probably much easier to
work around this in evolution than it is to fix all the deployed mail
systems out there.
