#14925: email now registers a defect for missing header/body separator.
This patch also deprecates the MalformedHeaderDefect. My best guess is that
this defect was rendered obsolete by a refactoring of the parser, and the
corresponding defect for the new parser (which this patch introduces) was
overlooked.
