I just tried to send out a bug report, but my mail server was
rejecting it.
I found that one of the instance variables -- a String containing
binary junk -- contained a LF character, some NUL characters, etc.
I suspect that Celeste should be more careful about what it sends out
to make sure that it's properly encoded for RFC822.
The problem here was that a bare LF was sent, and that non-ASCII
characters (code >127) were also sent.
Both are not expected in an RFC822 mail message.
822bis section 2.3, specifically prohibits all bare LFs.
