Handle the field spread over multiple physical lines?
Also, cope with the field name in a case-insensitive manner.

- Get a line.
- Loop:
    - Get a character.
    - If that's the white-space which marks a continuation line then
        - Append it.
        - Get a line and append it.
    - Else
        - Unget the character.
        - Break.

No, it's not a header field but a bit of mbox structure, and mbox
doesn't allow it to be continued.

RFC 4155, App. A, says a UTC time-stamp has to be present so the
omission looks like a bug.  https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4155
