> Although in all header fields the CFWS following the colon is optional, it
> is customary practice to place at least one SP there; moreover such a SP
> is mandatory in Netnews [UESFOR] (and possibly in other protocols).
> Continuance of that practice by implementors is encouraged in order to
> facilitate interoperability.

> This never landed the final RFC5322 but it explain the reason behind the
> issue.
> Most mime writers put a space after the colon. Some of them are not
> conformant and expect a WSP to be there.
> So we should probably remove the first WSP (if any) on getBody and add always
> a WSP after the colon on writing.
