Although in all header fields the CFWS following the colon is optional, it
is customary practice to place at least one SP there; moreover such a SP
is mandatory in Netnews [UESFOR] (and possibly in other protocols).
Continuance of that practice by implementors is encouraged in order to
facilitate interoperability.

This never landed the final RFC5322 but it explain the reason behind the issue.
Most mime writers put a space after the colon. Some of them are not conformant
and expect a WSP to be there.
So we should probably remove the first WSP (if any) on getBody and add always a
WSP after the colon on writing.
