John:
I've actually been seeing it a lot in messages that AREN'T spam. I
am not sure, but it appears that a recent release of Eudora had
a tendency to pile lots of addresses that belonged in the "To:"
header into the "Date:" header. There may also be worms attempting
to cause a buffer overflow via the headers.
