Yeah, Zimbra does.  The main impetus is the growing number of Mac mail
clients out there.  They're the only ones that really exercise it,
though we've also been seeing 2231 headers from some versions of
Thunderbird.  (One Thunderbird build even does 2231 headers with out-
of-order continuations, which was a pain in the ass to handle.)
