I just tried a little experiment - a telnet session to port 25 of my own
machine (a PC) with WinDIS providing the SMTP server.  I used CTRL-M amd
CTRL-J to generate the raw CR and LF characters.  Lo and behold, my SMTP
server promptly refused to accept <CR><LF>.<CR><CR><LF> as a message
terminator, but accepted <CR><LF>.<CR><LF> without any complaints.  If
Demon really were sending RFC non-compliant email, I and thousands more
would be suffering from the same problems which the Oasis 2 beta-testers
are experiencing.

This and the mangled email headers posted by Daron suggest very strongly
that there are major bugs in ICE.
