Interesting, an overnight packet dump revealed that it sometimes isn't
a tab. In the one below, it is a space. The cause is that more than
one optional parameter is being passed. It works properly on standard
exim 4.77, but with my refactoring patch, it does not. I'll bet I
don't reset the state variable of the options processing (reversed the
order of BODY= and SIZE= and it works ok).

Just wanted to point out that my previous refactoring patch still was
not working properly.
