It seems to me that sticking with RFC733 would solve many such problems.
While RFC733 is not universal, it is very widely adhered to.

(From RFC733)

Standard for the Format of Text Messages                       14
III. Syntax
 C. Messages

message     =  fields *( CRLF *text )       ; Everything after
                                           ;  first null line
                                           ;  is message body

Your mail reader need not display header lines it can't understand, but
should continue searching for "From:" or "Date:" or whatever until it
comes to the first null line.
