Not true. At least one blank line is *required* between the approval
message headers and the Approved: header, between the Approved: header
and the bounced headers, and between the bounced headers and the bounced
message. If any of these blank lines are missing, the context switch is
missed.

This code just allows *more than one* blank line between the Approved:
header and the bounced headers. A blank line must be found after the
Approved: header to get to this code.

Only in the header keywords: the case of the password is significant.
