Coming in late on this thread - I'll bet the problem was with the
'deliver' program, which is used as a local delivery agent in some
incarnations of Sendmail. Its problem is that it doesn't treat headers
with numbers in as valid headers, and so thinks it got to the end of the
headers when it encounters such a header, and inserts a blank line.
I first saw this with 'X400-xxxx:' headers, but your X-POP-3 header
would have tripped it as well. It's a trivial change to deliver to make
it call isalnum() instead of isalpha()....
