  There was reportedly a loooong debate about that, and the consensus was
that the grammar required them, but no-one initially implemented them
because they didn't really expect that '-' was considered a special
character.
  Their presence or absence should be of no real interest to either
an MUA, much less an MTA like zmailer....
