Yep, I've seen this problem.  I sent a message (a reply, I think) that
had a piece of the header and body of a previous message inserted into
the text of the reply.  The recipient of the message told me about the
problem and then sent the garbled message back (which I then destroyed,
alas).  As you point out, the security problems are pretty clear, so
I hope someone can track this down.  If I see this problem again, I'll
send the garbled message to the elm team.
