--- Comment #3 from Reed Meyer <[email protected]> ---
We tried the variant with the "\\n", and it didn't work.  We also tried other
whitespace like "\t".

Our goal was to get this particular format to work:  %s\n

which is the default format according to the documentation.  Either literally
specifying "%s\n" or using an empty string would be great either way.

The reason for "%s\n" is that we built our software under the assumption that
the default string "%s\n" must work, as it is used in the exim documentation. 
We only found out that "%s\n" didn't work after we built the software and then
tested trying to get it to communicate with exim.

I personally don't see a great need for implementing a "strict" list that
preserves leading and trailing whitespace in elements.  I just want to clarify
what exim can and cannot support in its format specification, and adjust the
documentation accordingly.

Thanks.
