You're not going to believe this!

Remember the bug I reported a couple of days ago with innmail putting
whitespace before the "To:" and "Subject:" headers? Well, a little testing
with raw sendmail proved that the problem is that innmail puts a TAB after the
colon, instead of a space. Changing it to a space fixed the problem. I
believe that RFC822 allows any whitespace, and it's only the news RFCs that
are more restrictive (only allowing a single space), in which case this
appears to be a Sun bug. However, the simple work-around is to change:
print MTA "To:\t", join (",\n\t", at addrs), "\n" ;
print MTA "Subject: $opt_s\n" ;
print MTA "\n" ;
To:
print MTA "To: ", join (",\n\t", at addrs), "\n" ;
print MTA "Subject: $opt_s\n" ;
print MTA "\n" ;
In innmail.
