Mmmh, I'm not sure I agree on that one.

1) People may want to limit the header to let's say 160 chars or so. A
   8K header can be huge and maybe even crash stupid MUAs or relaying
   MTAs

2) Yes, I changed the default (and documented it as changed) as people
   pointed out to me that defaulting to having that header on was
   probably not a good idea, even if I documented it as such.
   So now, you have to enable the header (I think you just need to
   comment out the entry in the conf file) to get it.

Do you think it's unreasonable?
