This error typically occurs if there are some *very* big headers in
it. Usually it is the "Newsgroups: " header, which indicates that
the message went to a very large number of newsgroups. In the
case of such large messages, the headers can get corrupted.

When importing such a message, Yarn detects the end of the headers
or at least it thinks it does, as some other headers were accidentally
considered part of the body of the message. The Date: header is one
header that an article can't do without, and if that header ends up
in the body by accident, then yarn won't process the message.
