Subject: [PATCH 2/4] Fix format.headers not ending with a newline
Message-ID: <alpine.LNX.1.00.0802190239440.5816@iabervon.org>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/alpine.LNX.1.00.0802190239440.5816%40iabervon.org

```
Now each value of format.headers will always be treated as a single
valid header, and newlines will be inserted between them as needed.
