Hi Ned,
RFCs 2045 and 2046 were written before DRUMS and RFCs
2821/2822/5321/5322 and therefore used the syntactic convensions of RFC 822,
where LWSP is implicitly allowed between tokens. The fact that DRUMS opted to
make the places where LWSP is allowed explicit rather than implicit doesn't
change the syntax rules for 2045 and 2046 in any way. shape or form.
I also note that had RFC 5322 had any effect on MIME syntax, the header of the
document would show that it updates RFCs 2045 and 2046. The document header
says no such thing.
OK, thanks a lot for having answered!
P.S. When revised MIME specifications come out they will probably switch to the
explicit LWSP approach since it seems that's the preferred way to do it now.
Understood. Thanks,
