Upon further thought, the text that I cited in RFC 2369 ("MTAs MUST NOT ins=
ert whitespace within the brackets [contained in list header fields]") migh=
t not apply to mail user agents, and particularly not to the software libra=
ry that I referred to in a previous message, which is primarily for mail us=
er agents, not MTAs.
As a result, I declare my question moot.

Subject: Question regarding RFC 2369
RFC 2369 sec. 2 currently says:
=C2=A0=C2=A0 MTAs MUST NOT insert whitespace within the brackets [contained
=C2=A0=C2=A0 in list header fields], but client applications should treat a=
ny=20
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0whitespace, that might be inserted by poorly behaved MTAs=
,=20
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0as characters to ignore.
