[Bug: 21.5-b28] mh-e

[Rick Baartman]

I just tried it on this very message. If I am composing it under
MH-Letter mode in XEmacs, go to the end of the To: line and hit
return, I get the error message attached to this message, endlessly
repeated. If I hit Ctrl-g to interrupt it, it stops, but expands the
minibuffer to fill almost the whole window, displaying these error
messages in the *Warnings* buffer.
