If a MUA does not have any limit to parse a header and if it receives
a message whose header is very long, it takes much time to parse the
header. This is a kind of security hole.

To prevent this, Mew implements a limit which can be set with
mew-header-max-depth. Mew quits parsing fields over
mew-header-max-depth.

Its defalut value is 50. If you think it is too small, set it in
.mew.el.

eg.

	(setq mew-header-max-depth 100)
