[Assp-test] current version: possible issue with how ASSP captures certain header info

[Micheal E. Jr <mi...@es...>]

Could someone familiar with the code confirm how the script grabs=20
envelop header info like from:, sender:, to: ?  I am curious to know if=20
ASSP properly handles spacing between the header field colon and the=20
start of the header data.  Here's why, and what I think may be an issue:

Certain MTAs will use multiple spaces in order to column justify the=20
header information instead of using a single standard space.  I have=20
noticed this because some of my regexps don't always match, and I have=20
begun to realize why.  A particular example that may effect others would =

be an 'undeliverable' NDRs that contains headers like this:

----------
Date:     Tue,  8 Jan 2008 15:59:26 -0500
Message-Id: <***********.*******@senderdomain.tld>
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=3Dus-ascii
From:     "Postmaster" <pos...@se...d>
Sender:   <pos...@se...d>
To:       <use...@my...d>
Subject: Undeliverable Mail
X-Mailer: <SMTP32 v8.22>
----------

Notice that four of the header fields have been space-justified to the=20
11th column.  Along with this, the ASSP-added headers contained this:

----------
X-Assp-Envelope-From:

Yes, the header field data is blank.  I'm assuming this is because ASSP=20
isn't parsing the field properly in order to handle this type of=20
spacing.  Its an assumption based on what I think I am seeing, but if=20
this is true, some of ASSP's tests could possibly be bypassed.
