It will be gone because of eatspace() when your check sees the line, so the header parsing stops prematurely. Was there a particular reason you needed this change? That is, did you have to parse mail-looking input that does not have a blank line between runs of headers and the body of the message? If so, I'd at least like to remove the || !isspace(colon[1]) from the test. After all, I do not think RFC2822 requires a whitespace after the colon there. - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
