I don't understand this comment (but then, I didn't like WISCNET when we ran it either). Starting in column 1 is illegal 822. > Q: does RFC822 allow a line to be broken in the middle of a quoted > field? Yes, of course. Quoting 822, section 3.4.5 If a quoted-string is to be "folded" onto multiple lines, then the syntax for folding must be adhered to. (See the "Lexical Analysis of Messages" section on "Folding Long Header Fields" above, and the section on "Case Independence" below.) > MAILER barfs on it. Why doesn't this surprise me?
