Fixed an important bug with folded headers! g_strconcat() returns a *copy* of the string, but hdr->value still pointed to the old header (which probably was a memory leak, too). If the folded part had been quite small it was likely that the new string was at the same position as the old one, thus making everything go well. But if pretty long headers were folded several times it was likely that the new string was allocated somewhere else in memory, thus breaking things. In result mails to lots of recipients (folded header) were frequently only sent to the ones in the first line. Sorry for the inconvenience.

meillo@202 10 On Debian GNU/Linux, I received a bunch warnings of that kind:
meillo@202 11
meillo@202 12 interface.o: In function `init_sockaddr':
meillo@202 13 interface.c:55: warning: Using 'gethostbyname' in statically
meillo@202 14 linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries
meillo@202 15 from the glibc version used for linking
meillo@202 16
meillo@202 17 On NetBSD I no warnings were printed.
meillo@202 18
meillo@202 19 I don't have enough knowledge to tell the reasons and implications.
