That comment was correct.  What happens is a message that has a
version line that is very long.  Something like:

Version: PGP 8.0.2 - not licensed for commercial use: www.pgp.com

The line is long enough that the "www.pgp.com" on the end linewraps
around when the message is pasted into some mail clients.  The
www.pgp.com on its own line breaks the message.
