I should have said: "... is a whitespace character. The result is that any footer with a continuation line is not accepted, since the last continuation line neither starts with an RFC2822 field name nor is followed by a continuation line. That this has remained broken for so long is good evidence that nobody actually needed multiline fields. Rip out the broken continuation support. No functional change intended."
