I've performed a series of experiments and something is
stripping blanks from mail messages:

1. Sent a message containing:

aaaaaaaaaaa
           
bbbbbbbbbbb

to myself via UUCP%"munroe@dmc.com"

The "blank" line had been filled with spaces.

2. Checked the spool file, it had spaces in it.

3. Checked the copy self copy delivered by mail.  IT had spaces
in it.

4. When UUCP/MX delivered the mail, the spaces were gone.

So a few questions:

(1) is my experiment bogus?
(2) Does DECUS UUCP (or MX, since that's REALLY the entity that
had the message last) strip blanks?
(3) Is this behavior legal?
(4) Should it be stopped?

The following is the message I received.  I don't know if it's MX
or UUCP that's loosing the blanks.
