The latter is an unrelated issue, here's an example (RfC 3834):

|  auto-submitted-field     = "Auto-Submitted:" [CFWS]
|                             auto-submitted [CFWS] CRLF
|  auto-submitted           = ( "no" / "auto-generated" /
|                             "auto-replied" / extension )
|                             opt-parameter-list
|  extension                = token
|  opt-parameter-list       = *( [CFWS] ";" [CFWS] parameter )
|
| The symbols "CFWS" and "CRLF" are defined in [N2.RFC2822].
| The symbols "token", and "parameter" are as defined in
| [N7.RFC2045] (as amended by [N4.RFC2231]).

RfC 3834 is nice, even if you consider its Subject: [Auto] tag
as "intentionally annoying the IETF-2822-cabal" ;-)  Bye, Frank
