I see, still I wonder why implementor has decided to use
the '~'-character, especially as it is unreliable to be transmitted
to IBM mainframes (via SMTP or other methods..), for example.
(Transit over BITNET will propably fail...)
Anyway, here is minimal diff for it:
** diff smtpserver/rfc821scn.c~ smtpserver/rfc821scn.c
