Which header do you mean?  The three lines that are appended at the
end by the mailing list program?
I remember this bug now - the issue is in Vim7.  It if_ecl.c there is
a call to eval_to_string, which calls into Vim's eval.c module.  If
you look at eval_to_string, you can either get back a Vim List (which
at the moment our FFI can't parse), or a string that uses \n as an
item seperator.  I changed if_ecl.c to output the later.  I don't have
the code in front of me as a complete unit, so I can't really be more
specific, sorry.
Hope that helps.  If it does, can you please check the change in to
the Vim7 repo?

Cheers
Brad
