I'm currently using "[^\000-\037\177-\377 :]+:", which is what rfc822
says is a legal header name. Perhaps that's too strict, though.
Maybe "[^\n :]+ *:" might be a better choice... Yes, I think I'll go
with that instead.

Yes, it's much better to split a bit too much than incorrectly append
one mail to another even once.
