Does anyone know if this bug is going to get fixed or has done in later versions?. I am using Mailman version 2.1.9 .

Problems in header folding/unfolding typically arise because RFC 822 implies that multiple white space characters can be inserted following <CRLF> during the folding process. Later RFCs 2822 and 5322 clarify this, but many agents still insert an extra tab or space when folding and thus many agents remove the whitespace character following the <CRLF> in a folded header, even though this is a violation of the RFCs.
In any case, header folding/unfolding is done in the underlying Python email package, and I don't think you'll see any change to this until sometime in the Mailman 3 life cycle.

R. David Murray is making a lot of progress on the email package in python 3, with substantial improvements (mostly porting to Python 3) in Python 3.2 and substantial refactoring coming in Python 3.3.
So it could be available by the time Mailman 3 goes into beta.
