Is this > behavior standards compliant? Yes, but I recall that Lars asked if we should change this, since it confuses Outlook. I'm not sure exactly what happens in Outlook though. If it plays a little melody and brings up an animated interactive troll complaining about malformed messages, maybe it could be entertaining to preserve the behavior, but if Outlook simply crashes and bring down the OS too, maybe we should make the change. Or the other way around.
