I suppose in theory we should replace that with specific tests rather
than using isspace()

Might be easier to tie it in with the RFCs if it used macro names
borrowed from it.

We have some of that already ... I think we just need to formalize the
use of it.

we don't handle the case where a locale says 0x00-0x7F does not match
ASCII (are there such locales?).

Are there locales that aren't
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_ASCII ?  Yes, EBCDIC locales on
z/OS with Unix System Services installed is still POSIX-compatible AIUI
but definitely not ASCII, e.g. Fr_BE.IBM-1047 is
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBCDIC_1047.  Does the build farm have a
z/OS target?  :-)

If people want to get nmh working on non-ASCII locales, more power to
them.  We get that wrong in a lot of places.
