So you are a non-conformist and inconsiderate.  You are correct, no RFC,
but a FAQ, see:
    http://www.uwasa.fi/~ts/http/quote.html

Correct, it is the default.

You are tactful and very generous.  And you apparently are trying to find
answers in the wrong forum.  'razor-submit' is not supported here.

You have not read TFM.
   man razor-report:

If "razor-report" is passed more than one mail, it will report each
against the database. Please use this with caution, we don't want the
database filled up with mails incorrectly identified as spam.
"razor-report" supports mbox-formatted files with 1 or more mails in them
as well as files containing a single RFC 822 (non-mbox) mail.  More than
one file may be present on the command line, can be either a non-mbox or
mbox in any order.

However, more than one non-mbox mail cannot be read from stdin. Both
"razor-report" and razor-revoke(1) require user authentication to work,
see razor-admin(1). This allows the Razor Nomination Server to keep track
of how many messages a user reports and revokes. The more messages a user
correctly reports and/or correctly revokes, the more trust the user
earns. Likewise, when messages are incorrectly reported or revoked, the
trust goes down for that user. Highly trusted users will have the most
affect on the Razor Catalogue.

there is a big difference between a file 'z' with 100 mbox messages
and a directory 'z' with 100 separate message files in it and the syntax
required to deliver it to razor-report.

The bug between the chair and keyboard!
