This could be done both in gmime and in balsa - depending whether the  
gmime's API is defined to return canonized strings or not. I do not see  
this issue mentioned in the doc. g_mime_header_get() says only "the  
value of the header requested". I guess we can do it on balsa side  
unless Jeff plans to do it for other purpose. In such a case, it might  
worth to mention this in the doc that the headers may be returned in a  
incanonical form.

It means
  g_mime_header_foreach(GMIME_OBJECT(message)->headers,
			  prepend_header_misc, &res);

does not iterate over such a header. There is nothing balsa can do  
about it.
