I know that, thanks. The problem is that this is a message that
I received (not me, actually, but this does not matter), not one that
I sent.

I would like that Mahogany, the mailer I use, can correctly report that
the message is not well-formed. Until now, we only had to check
"[GNUPG:] " lines. I would prefer to continue this way.

Thanks for your help.
