Just a random thought: RFC822 does not require a space to follow the
delimiting colon of a field name.  So, does this mean that your example
merely describes a Subject field without a leading space?  Or does it
mean that the mailserver URL should always cause a space to be added
in the final message?

Not that this is likely to cause much problems, it's just that the
formulation is not quite clear on this point.
