I don't quite see what that has to do with it.  You appear to think
that...well, actually, it's not quite clear what.  That because nobody
else checks for it, that it's not a violation?  That it's somehow an
acceptable spec to ignore, despite all the good reasons why such octets
are forbidden?

No.

If it's really that important to you, so important that you demand
subscribers' mailers wave off gross syntax errors in list mail, I guess
you'll just have to unsubscribe me.  (The attitude that it's somehow
obnoxious to call your mailer on emitting syntax errors in even as mild
a way as merely rejecting such standards-violating mail, *I* find
pretty obnoxious, actually.)

To the rest of the list, since I probably will be gone soon, I'll miss
you and the interesting and thought-provoking discussions I've seen
here, and I hope I someday run into a lojban list which is less, well,
obnoxious.
