The problem is in Zope/lib/python/Products/MailHost/MailHost.py. messageText is stripped, so the last header-line is "stripped of its newline." An lstrip() fixes the problem (only strip whitespace in front of header, leave all unchanged after the header).

When using a dtml-sendmail and specifying To:, From:, and Subject:, if there is no message text after the blank line (or no blank line at all), Zope appends the Date: header to the Subject: header, e.g., 
"Subject: This is a testDate: February 21, 2003..."

Sending emails with only a subject and no message text is commonly used in sending commands to listservers.
