First, I don't understand what the problem is. Are you saying that the
headers appear as part of the body as opposed to the header section?
This could be a side-effect of your e-mail client when it receives a
message with such large headers.
To clarify what I meant: my company uses Outlook for all its email. Viewing
one of said problematic letters in the Preview/View pane should just show the
body of the email. Instead, all the header lines were displayed, too.

Yes there is. From the link you sent, RFC 821:
As multiple people pointed out, I did miss that line. I didn't grasp that
the header information would be considered part of the body, so when it said a
"text line" couldn't exceed 1000 characters I disregarded it.
Turning on the FoldHeader option solved the problem for me. I'll be sending
in a registration postcard as soon as I find out how much postage is from the
US to Belgium.
Thanks to everyone for the rapid and helpful response.
