I guess I'll have to trust that the server vendor > fixes the bug then... Hmm, it probably wouldn't hurt to use HTAB for folding in mail headers, which aren't supposed to be displayed. E.g. it doesn't really matter if the msg.id's in the References header are separated by SP or HTAB. But it *does* matter if SP is replaced by HTAB in the Subject. But for news USEFOR thinks that HTAB shouldn't be used for whitespace at all: ,----[ 4.2.3. White Space and Continuations ] | | Posters and posting agents SHOULD use SP, not HTAB, where white space | is desired in headers (some existing software expects this), and MUST | use SP immediately following the colon after a header-name. Relaying | agents SHOULD accept HTAB in all such cases, however. `----
