I see 2 possible problems with this sample message :

        1/ the message boundary contains  in it
           It could perturb a few MUAs :(
           This carriage return has not been introduced by Sympa,
           because the boundary is built as follows :
                my $boundary ="----------------- Message-Id: \<$messageid\>" 
           Then it could have been introduced by a MTA...

        2/ There is no boundary at the end of the message.
           Is this a cup/paste pb ?
