There may be another issue. According to RFC 3977:

| Netnews articles are further required to have the header name,
| colon, and following space all on the first line; folding may only
| happen beyond that space.

(https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3977#page-112 Section A.1.)

On the other hand, I don't know whether leafnode handles folded MIDs
according to this RFC 3977.

Additionally folding has to be done with CRLF.

Not having had a look at leafnodes sources, you probably don't speak of
me.

Have a nice day
