Neither. It means that, even though most of us are used to seeing things like "Subject: list" in our mail clients, people should not create URLs like <mailserver://bigstate.edu/Subject:%20list/>. The leading space (which must be encoded) is superfluous, and may be confusing to some mail servers who expect no leading whitespace in the Subject header. --Paul Hoffman --Proper Publishing
