Opera rendered it...
The lines consisting of just a greater-than sign and a space are fixed,
right? (Because the space is a stuffing space.) So there should be two
separate quoted "foo foo foo..." paragraphs separated by quoted blank
lines, right?
I dunno. -04 also says:
If the line ends in a space, the line is flowed. Otherwise it is
fixed. The exception to this rule is a signature separator line,
described in Section 5.3. Such lines end in a space but are neither
flowed nor fixed.
This suggest the line is flowed.
Also of relevance may be that the document considers
foo
and
foo
to be logically the same during encoding. I'm not sure if the lines
are still considered equivalent if the 'foo' is removed from both of
them.
It is also not clear if the DELSP parameter should modify the output
for this example. I.e., is the SPC a stuffing or trailing SPC? The
Opera output quoted by Charles Lindsey did not appear to remove the
trailing SPC when flowing lines together, but presumably it implement
RFC 2646 and not draft-gellens-format-bis-04.txt. Having different
behaviour in 2646 and 2646bis might not be ideal either.
Pseudo code for a correct decoder would make matters simpler...
