} It is my understanding - though I cannot cite chapter and verse of the
} documentation - that a space after the '=' is allowed, but that a space
} anywhere else in a keyword statement marks the end of the keyword statement.
} Everything after the space is treated as a comment, i.e., ignored. I have
} fielded problem reports from list owners whose lists were not working as
} expected. When I investigated, I found extraneous spaces in the relevant
} keyword statement(s). When I removed the spaces, the reported problems
} disappeared.

I know that "Attachments= No ,filter" was working because attachments
were being filtered as advertised.  I have removed the spaces to be
sure.

Just as a WAG, perhaps some keywords use ParserA (which ignores spaces)
and other keywords use ParserB (which doesn't).
