I don't quite understand what you mean here, Zack.  What precisely is
the problem with header parsing at the moment?  The only thing that (I
think) is wrong is that it's possible to escape the closing " or >
with a \.  I intend to fix this RSN with a patch.  However, I doubt
anyone cares - in MSDOS \ is a directory separator, but then you'd be
including a directory.
