Solved my own problem....


Between Sendmail versions a code change was made so the MaxMimeHeaders
was set to 2048 even if it was not defined anywhere (it use to be read
from the config file and if not set it remained as the default value of
0)???? After this change it was also set in conf.c to MAXLINE or 2048.
THis meant when we sent a mail message embodied with a line length
greater than MAXLINE it was split. Setting MaxMimeHeaders to -1/-1 in
the config file sorted this out.....
