I believe this is true, but I can't find it documented. All the examples in the various manuals show a space after the = sign and I've experimented and found that if I omit the space, the characters are just treated as comments. For example, * Notify=NO is different than * Notify= NO -- BE ALERT!!!! (The world needs more lerts ...)
