Sorry, I misread your initial post.

You can patch the Cyrus sources to accept them; that's what I did (at a
previous work and at home).
In the imap/message.c file, search for IMAP_MESSAGE_CONTAINSNULL,
IMAP_MESSAGE_CONTAINSNL and IMAP_MESSAGE_BADHEADER; they are mostly used
as error return values when appending new messages in the
"message_copy_strict" function. Comment out the offending code, and it
will work.
