If I understand correctly, what you have found this time doesn't have
anything to do with the color-style stuff.  It appears to be something in
the functions taken from metamail.  I don't understand why this hasn't
causeed problems already long ago, but maybe there just hasn't been
anybody with such exotic MIME files as yours...

What's the invocation for that?   (just curious)

Change the last part of function Cleanse so that it becomes:

    /* strip trailing white space */
    while ((tmp > news) && *--tmp && isspace((unsigned char) *tmp))
        *tmp = '\0';
    return(news);


Does that solve it?  Next problem from your stress-testing? :)
