you have a sample file that I can play with to test my fix?
On that note - here's an unrelated simple case that the old mailinfo got 
right, but the new one seems to screw up: multiple Subject: lines.

The old one would make later Subject: lines override the earlier ones, and 
I depended on that when I fix up peoples emails to me manually (you 
wouldn't believe how bad explanations or subject lines people use for 
perfectly good patches ;)

The current mailinfo seems to just take the first one.
