Oops.  I spoke too quickly.  I tried a couple of methods of writing
new files, but I didn't try the right one.  I tried two different
clients but didn't try to client which writes a new files using http.
You could switch clients for your bothersome submissions, and use a
client which email as uses cddbp.

cddbd_async_command doesn't quite do the right thing.  '&' is
converted to ' ', but other changes aren't made.  '&' and '=' are
converted into hex, for example.  I suggest a standard cgi library,
such as libcgi to covert the strings.
