If you look at a very long CC: header, you may notice that the value of
this header is often placed in different lines, but those lines start
with a space or tab character. This is the RFC-compliant way to indicate
that this line is the continuation of a previous line. It's not necessary
to write very long lines, and some gateways may not even be able to
handle lines of 1000 characters long.
