I am running Mailman 2.1.9. I have a list where one posting has a "Subject:" line:
Change in Procedure for Computers on list with possible Antivirus Problems
The next posting in the thread has:

What is happening, I guess, is that Mailman is folding that header to keep it within some number of characters, maybe 76 or so. RFC 2822 specifies that this may be done by inserting a linebreak (CRLF) before whitespace. The RFC implies that the right thing to do in that case is to remove the CRLF only, but some MUAs also remove a space. I suspect that is what is happening to this case.
Can you post a copy of the "raw" header as received by Mailman and as sent by Mailman?
I am not sure I have this information. What I see (and posted) from the list .mbox file - is that what was received by Mailman or what was sent?

It's essentially the message as sent by Mailman to the list, but without the msg_header and msg_footer if any.
To get the incoming message, you'd have to go to the poster's sent messages or get a Cc or Bcc from the poster.
