It seems to be related with the length of the subject line, that could
crash some mail agents overflowing a buffer.
I'm sending copy to general@jakarta.apache.org, to see if there is a
simple solution to trim the Subject of cvs generated mails to a given
maximum length.
If not, I would suggest messagelabs.com to unsubscribe all of their
people from the jakarta.apache.org lists, to avoid us their spam.

Their system is crappy. I have had several flamewars with these people about
their "virus detection" software which just loves to send tons of those
emails when it detects a long subject line.
Ug. If only they wouldn't respond to "Precedence: Bulk" addresses...anyway,
I got moderator messages from them and didn't approve them to the
list...personally, I would just rather block their entire domain as a spam
sender...
