Are you sure that this has actually presented a problem in practice,
or are you anticipating that it may be a problem in the future? The
procmail man page states in the BUGS section:
The embedded newlines in a continued header should be skipped
when matching instead of being treated as a single space as
they are now.
And in the MISCELLANEOUS section:
To make `egrepping' of headers more consistent, procmail
concatenates all continued header fields; but only internally.
When delivering the mail, line breaks will appear as before.
