My response here is probably OT, but RFC 822 is the only RFC that talksabout folding by *inserting* whitespace. both RFC 2822 and RFC 5322 say folding is done by inserting <CRLF> ahead of *existing* whitespace and unfolding is done by removing the <CRLF> (only). Thus, thequestion of whether folding was with <tab> or <space> should not arise.Of course, in terms of trying to reconstruct the original on_the_wire message exactly, the question of where the folding occurred is still relevant. but if we're doing the right thing, the question of what character should follow the <CRLF> is not.
+1I /think/ the email package in Python 3.0 DTRT here, or well, at least does better than the one in 2.6.
