Point 7:
Another way of expressing this algorithm that people may find
easier to understand is:
"If the last line of the message does not end with CRLF, CRLF is
added. Then, CRLF 0*CRLF is reduced to a single CRLF."
Well that would be better expressed as "1*CRLF is reduced to a single
CRLF",
but you should be saying "If the last line of the body" rather than "If
the last line of the message", because
------------------
Last-Header: foobarCRLF
CRLF
------------------
is a message with an empty body (read RFC 2822).
Or put it another way; the last line of what you hash MUST NEVER be empty
(i.e. must never consist of CRLF with no preceding real text).
That was why I included my INFORMATIVE NOTE, just to remove any possible
misinteroretations (and we have just seen how easily people misinterpret
things :-( ).
