It most likely conforms strictly to <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc822#page-21";>Rfc 822</a> which is the standard, and mostly canonical, and allows for CR and LF but not the two together (CRLF), if I'm reading it correctly:

text        =  <any CHAR, including bare    ; => atoms, specials,
                    CR & bare LF, but NOT       ;  comments and
                    including CRLF>             ;  quoted-strings are
                                                ;  NOT recognized.

optional-field =

                /  "Message-ID"        ":"   msg-id
                /  "Resent-Message-ID" ":"   msg-id
                /  "In-Reply-To"       ":"  *(phrase / msg-id)
                /  "References"        ":"  *(phrase / msg-id)
                /  "Keywords"          ":"  #phrase
                /  "Subject"           ":"  *text
                /  "Comments"          ":"  *text
                /  "Encrypted"         ":" 1#2word
                /  extension-field              ; To be defined
                /  user-defined-field           ; May be pre-empted

Can you have multi-line subject lines?  I didn't think that was
possible.

Yes.  This is the header of a mail you sent to -patches:

Note the Subject is truncated w.r.t. the mail you were responding, which
had this:

From: Zdenek Kotala <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: Peter Eisentraut <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Cc: pgsql-patches@postgresql.org, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Subject: Re: [PATCHES] Allow commenting of variables in postgresql.conf to -

See your sent-mail folder, you'll see that the message you actually sent
had something like this:

Subject: Re: [PATCHES] Allow commenting of variables in
        postgresql.conf to -


What happened with the second line?  What I concluded has happened, from
observations on the other list, Majordomo removed it.
