tabs in header fields in NOV lines

tabs in header fields in NOV lines

[Paul Jarc]

If, say, a Subject: field contains tabs, how is that to be handled in
NOV lines?  I couldn't find "xover" or "nov" in RFC 977 or 1036.  If
they can't be encoded, I'm going to make nnmaildir replace them with
spaces, since it has the benefit of knowing which tabs are delimiters
and which are data.

| Fields are separated by tabs, and any tabs or newlines in the original
