Paying closer attention to some other headers, it appears that some
software uses the <tab>, some use a single <space>, and some use 8
<spaces>. Also, RFC 2822 only mentions what happens on the unfold, not how
a fold itself should be created, although I can understand the argument on
why a <tab> would be "a bad idea".

At any event, it doesn't appear that there is any standard on the matter,
so I'll adjust to Mutt's default behavior, now that I understand it a bit
better.

Thanks,
