Re: Question about message_headers

Hi Steven,
You do not need a tab, a dash, or anything special.  You are seeing
the result of MTA header wrapping.  Just put the tab indented line
after the comma on the first line, and let the MTA handle breaking
the line into two pieces and inserting the tab.

I have word wrap turned off, and each of two methods per line...
