I found where to do this in the code, that was the hard
part.

Is there any need to keep the trailing whitespace of the
component with blank text lines?  I'm inclined to always
strip it off.  E.g., "> \n" would become ">\n".

Separately, I would like to add a "strip" (or "trim"?) flag
to mhl to strip trailing whitespace from non-empty body lines.
It's easy to do and I'd use it.  "nostrip" ("notrim") would
remain the default.

There already is a "leftadjust" flag to strip off leading
whitespace.
