is there any real rule whether to put an empty space between a field
name's colon and the field body?
Including spaces is a really bad idea: Cyrus imapd and AMS and metamail
and mpack have been reported to choke on spaces. 822 allowed spaces but
2822 doesn't. http://cr.yp.to/immhf/field.html covers all this.
I think Martin meant the space after the colon, rather than the one before
it.
