I haven't been able to reproduce it on my test lists which means one
of two things:
1) the 1.93 prototype code I am running doesn't suffer from it
2) the test case I got isn't sufficient for some reason

My guess is that it would be in the code that handles the approved
header in the body of the message, but I am not sure. I tried running
the test case by hand through the 1.92 resend with no luck. If anybody
else tracks it down, I would appreciate looking at the patch so I can
make sure that it is really fixed and not merely masked in the 1.93
resend.
