I was using email.message_from_string which eventually feeds block of
8192 bytes into the actual e-mail parsing code. However, in my case one
the blocks split the \r\n at the end of a submessage. This caused the
code to identify it as two newlines and thus the submessage headers were
interpreted as being content.

For my purposes I've changed:
NLCRE_crack = re.compile('(\r\n|\r|\n)')
to
NLCRE_crack = re.compile('(\r\n)')

Which prevents the problem.

I suspect that is not a good fix but I do not know the standard well
enough to know what would be a good fix.
