Re: [Nmh-workers] handling of long header lines by pick (bug #15215)

2012-11-24 00:50:55
The bug notes that leaving all of the leading whitespace on
continuation lines intact is inconsistent with what mh-format
does, which is to collapse into a single space.

mh-format is a bit ... weird, and TECHNICALLY it only does that on (most)
string output.  I don't think what we do there should necessarily apply
in pick.

But I think we
should leave this as-is in pick.  It's consistent with its man
page and the RFC, I think.  And it's easy enough to work around
with a regexp, as noted in the Debian bug.  Thoughts?

Fine with me.
