Hi,
RFC 2045's ABNF grammar for the MIME-Version header does not contain any reference to CFWS or other tokens which can expand to allow comments:

	version := "MIME-Version" ":" 1*DIGIT "." 1*DIGIT

Despite that, the RFC is pretty clear that any RFC822 comments are to be ignored [1]. Is that an error in the ABNF grammar, or is there a generic rule for comments somewhere else?

With kind regards,
Jan
