Unfortunately the patch will not produce valid rfc822-style output, as
some fields may be more than one line long.  Given the ease of parsing
XML output these days, and the fact that there are so many tools
available for doing so, why would we want to regress to rfc822-style
output?  Not to mention that other people may make use of this output
format.

Incidentally, do we want to use underscores or hyphens in the field
names (underscores look weird in rfc822 output)?
