Thinking out loud... :) Is there any valid situation where the entered
information would not end with ":" ? Since the space is a coded rule,
could the lack of ":" at the end be used to 'validate' the entered data?
But... then there's the possibility ":" could be entered at the end... :(
Scratch that... non-editable sounds like the right answer...

Or in clawsrc:
destination_headers={To,Cc,Bcc,Newsgroups,Reply-To,Followups-To,<future>}
with ": " the hard-coded rule.
No idea how this would impact translations though...
