Package: mailman
Version: 1:2.1.11-11+lenny1
Severity: serious
Mailman does stuff to the headers of messages which pass through it.
This can completely break the syntax and semantics of eg the CC
header.
Mailman should not edit existing headers _at all_.
For example, I sent this message (using Emacs VM):
