Re: HEAD: two envelope header problems (maybe gmime related)

the rfc doesn't say to replace tabs with SPACE, it says simply that
unfolding a header involves removing of the CRLF leaving only the WSP
(which includes ' ' and '\t')

This is of course correct, but ' ' and '\t' actually have the same meaning in a header from the rfc's pov. However, IMHO it would be a lot more user- friendly for any frontend (balsa) hacker to get a WSP == ' ', as the tab does not carry *any* other relevant information than a space in the header. So my suggestion would be replacing tabs by spaces in gmime rather than in balsa to make all header related stuff completely transparent.

Just my € 0.01, though...

Cheers, Albrecht.
