Luckily it doesn't, since the final continuation line is not followed
by whitespace.  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

	support.

	No functional change intended."

I have no excuse, since you explained this all out loud to me a couple of
months ago. :)  Sorry for the nonsense.

Thanks,
Jonathan
