I had that issue here, and did a little 'bash-fu' to correct it. :)

for file in /home/dan/mystic/echomail/in/*.tic; do
  [ -e "$file" ] || continue
  ticlength=`cat "$file" | grep "^Desc " | wc -c` 
  if [ $ticlength -gt 45 ]
    then
    cat $file | grep "Desc " | cut -c6- | fold -sw45 > ticdesc.txt     ticdesc=`cat ticdesc.txt`
    sed -i 's/^Desc/LDesc/g' $file
    fmt -w 45 -p LDesc $file > test.tic
    cp test.tic $file
    rm test.tic   
    rm ticdesc.txt
  fi
done

I also did a little more 'bash-fu' to get the size field in the .tic files that are missing.

for file in /home/dan/mystic/echomail/in/*.tic; do
  [ -e "$file" ] || continue
  filesize=0
  filesize=`cat $file | grep "^Size " | sed 's/.*Size //'`
  filename=`cat $file | grep "^File " | sed 's/^File //' | sed 's/\r$//'`
  if [ "$filesize" = '' ]
  then
    filesize=`wc -c "$filename" | awk '{print $1}'`
    echo "Size $filesize" >> $file
  fi
  filesize=0
done
