dovecot - Nov 2018 - Request: Pigeonhole - strip CWFS from message-id logs

Normally for a log line containing the contents of a Message-Id, it is logged
like the following

  Nov 29 11:41:27 xxx dovecot[211]: lmtp(lee)<30167><XXXXX>: sieve:
msgid=<xxxx at example.net>: stored mail into mailbox
'Notifications'

However, if there is CFWS other than a space, it changes the format of the log
line (potentially making the logs harder to process - eg via ?logcheck"
rules)

  Nov 29 11:50:09 xxx dovecot[401]: lmtp(lee)<55724><XXXXX>: sieve:
msgid=? <xxxx at example.com>: stored mail into mailbox
?Notifications'

A message-id line broken up is valid per RFC 5322 and header whitespace
shouldn?t be significant for logging purposes

  https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.2.2

Yes, that is a bug.
