Well, theoretically yes. *By convention*, mailbox names are specified in
some weird UTF-7 encoding (ie, the specs leave the naming implementation
specific :-(), so they could theoretically start with a space.

But my life's goal is to kill everyone who ever creates a mailbox name
_starting_ with a space. ;-)

I don't really care, we can strip (providing less fragile command line
option handling) or not (preventing weirdly named boxes from
being included). But given that during the last 8 years, spaces in this
option were not possible at all and no one seemed to have complained, I
don't think it's going to be a big problem. :-)
