Strictly, it _may_ be an acceptable folded header, but it's the first time I see that kind of syntax in the wild (with the break directly after the colon). > My Usenet host rejected that header because it didn't have a space > after the colon. > > I'm hesitant to call that a bug since I'm trying to use an email > library for Usenet posts. Does anyone know if this is a strict > requirement of Usenet posts and/or email? Yes, both. Usenet and mail use the same generic message format (RFC 2822 [1]). The headers used and the signification of those may be slightly different, but the messages are to be structured the same way. The real difference comes from the administrative standpoint, where rules governing (the text part of) Usenet are much more restrictive (since there are nothing like a binary email address versus a text only email address).
