David Stevens -

     I reviewed RFC 822 briefly.  The BNF suggests that a multiple "Date:" line
shouldn't happen, but I could find no restriction on multiple "To:" or "Subject:"
lines.  If there is something in RFC 822 that you believe imposes such a
restriction, please cite the reference by paragraph and page number.

     I would think that a reasonable RFC 822 implementation would simply ignore
extraneous Date: and Subject: lines.  Multiple To: lines are easy; just append
the new data to the old data.
