Indeed I have kept a file copy. The diff confirms my suspicion that the
dangling spaces were the trigger. I got this suspicion by looking at
Derek's messages, of which one verifies for me and the other does not.

Ok, that worked. Now let's try this:=20
-This line ends with a couple of dangling spaces. =20
+This line ends with a couple of dangling spaces.=20=20=20=20
Now _that_ would be really stupid!
This does not tell us at which hop it happens, which software is
responsible, or (especially) why it depends on the _recipient_ aside
from all other things.

Perhaps there is a little clue here. Some kind of load balancing seems
to be in effect at osuosl, different hosts (silver, whitealder,
fraxinus, ash) are involved each time. Possibly different amavis
configuration on some of the hosts handling the outbound traffic. Yes,
I suspect amavis more than the other pieces; it should be the only piece
that takes apart the MIME structure.
