Hi Binand,
Thanks. Your [[:space:]] did the trick. I always thought the "\t" and
"\s" matched multiple white space characters ( tab or space ) and should
have been equivalent to [[:space:]]
----
from RFC 822
3.1.1. LONG HEADER FIELDS
Each header field can be viewed as a single, logical line ...
For convenience, the field-body portion of this conceptual
entity can be split into a multiple-line representation; this
is called "folding". The general rule is that wherever there
may be linear-white-space (NOT simply LWSP-chars), a CRLF
immediately followed by AT LEAST one LWSP-char may instead be
inserted. Thus, the single line
Unfolding is accomplished by
regarding CRLF immediately followed by a LWSP-char as
equivalent to the LWSP-char.
