That's the "wrong" view: that single space intendation is part of the
rfc822 specification for multi-line fields, and as such that space is
not part of the field content.

What that "intentation" is about, it's within the content of the field,
which you can see as "two leading spaces" while looking at the whole
file.


Again, I recommend you write and propose a better wording in the form of
a lintian bug :)
