I'll ask there if no answer appears here. One of the reasons I asked here is because of the interaction between the syntax of these header fields and what an IMAP server should do when parsing the header and returning the parsed value. The syntax would imply that all whitespace after the colon is part of the value of the header, but that's not what most/all IMAP servers do, and not what the examples show. Is there something in the IMAP spec that says leading whitespace should be removed from these header values? > 2. RFC 5322 is the current spec; 2822 is obsolete. A quick scan didn't turn up anything that would resolve my issue differently. _______________________________________________ Imap-protocol mailing list [email protected] http://mailman2.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/imap-protocol
