Can you be more specific about how it violates the syntax? I agree that
it's not necessarily friendly, but I couldn't find (from a quick
look) that this is explicitly disallowed. In fact, RFC822 seemed to be
telling me that it was ok:
====
3.4.2. WHITE SPACE
Note: In structured field bodies, multiple linear space ASCII
characters (namely HTABs and SPACEs) are treated as
single spaces and may freely surround any symbol. In
all header fields, the only place in which at least one
LWSP-char is REQUIRED is at the beginning of continua-
tion lines in a folded field.

Thanks.
