My .emacs does nothing fancy, it just sets load-path and
gnus-nntp-server.

Hmm -- an earlier gnus version inserted an extra newline after some
`From: ' lines too; I think that's fixed now.  And now this...
In addition to fixing this bug, maybe gnus should check that
the user does not insert a newline in the header (except newlines
followed by continuation lines).

It seems like message.el sometimes generate headers after the
`mail-header-separator' line.  I have been unable to reproduce this
bug.  Has anybody else seen similar behavior?

Sgnus 0.63 doesn't use message.el, does it?

I have seen the behaviour quite a lot. But not that it inserts headers
after the separator, but that it inserts an empty line before it. The
problem I hav seen are really long Message-IDs in the In-reply-to:
line, which were wrapped like this:

In-reply-to:
        <REALLY_LONG_MESSAGE_ID@FOOBAR>

----- Separator line here --------

This made sendmail.el put many of the headers in the body instead.

I never bothered to track it down or report it, though.
