Environment:
We are using Horde 3.2 and IMP 4.2 (HEAD) with Courier-IMAP and
Qmail-Sendmail.

Issue:
When forwarding messages with attachments, non-IMP email clients are
unable to parse the multipart message due to extraneous carriage returns
("\r") in the RFC822 message headers, particularly for messages
originating from the Wintel platform. We have recreated the problem in
both Thunderbird and Outlook clients.

Resolution:
The problem can be corrected by removing the extra carriage returns from
the forwarded message. The attached patch has resolved the issue in our
environment. We would appreciate your review and feedback. 

Thanks for your consideration.
