It is not the only such broken injection agent in existence.  Maybe
`maxsize' and `cut' below should be made a user options, in order to
allow workarounds?

(defun message-shorten-references (header references)
  "Trim REFERENCES to be less than 31 Message-ID long, and fold them.
If folding is disallowed, also check that the REFERENCES are less
than 988 characters long, and if they are not, trim them until they are."
  (let ((maxcount 31)
	(count 0)
	(cut 6)
	refs)
    ;; ...

      (let ((maxsize 988)
