emacs: Fix the References header in reply
In the new reply code, the References header gets inserted by message.el using a function called message-shorten-references. Unlike all the other header-inserting functions, it doesn't put a newline after the header, causing the next header to end up on the same line. In our case, this header happened to be User-Agent, so it's hard to notice. This is probably a bug in message.el, but we need to work around it. This fixes the problem by wrapping message-shorten-references in a function that inserts a newline after if necessary. This should protect against the message.el bug being fixed in the future.
