There is code in mail-send to detect that:

        ;; Complain about any invalid line.
        (goto-char (point-min))
        (while (< (point) (mail-header-end))
          (unless (looking-at "[ \t]\\|.*:\\|$")
            (push-mark opoint)
            (error "Invalid header line (maybe a continuation line lacks 
initial whitespace)"))
          (forward-line 1))

But mail-header-end seems to be broken: it calls rfc822-goto-eoh instead
of searching for the mail-header-separator (either the text on a line by
itself or the category text property value).
