Hey together,
I found a weird bug in mailman-2.1.1. It seems mailman is removing whitespaces from the subject line if the subject contains 8-bit characters like æ ä or similar.
Just try sending a mail to a testlist running mailman-2.1.1 with the subject "Emne tekst på email til flug listerne" and reply a couple of times. It's eating spaces randomly.
Subjects like "ä ë ü and subject whitespaces" will also demonstrate it.

I am Cc-ing this reply to mailman-developers because of update in pointers.
Try these patch.

You should also check if your MUA is compliant to RFC-2822/2047. (Hmm, you are using Mutt/1.5.3i ...)

Mutt is compliant.
