Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman Splitting Subject
I saw that, but it is not really an answer as te problem is that it is inserting a TAB, not whitespace, and that is what is causing the problem. A carriage return and spaces would be fine. The tab is what most clients cannot handle.

This was just discussed last week (or the week before). In short, the subject-line folding is correct, the mail client behavour is not. Please check this list's archives for a discussion.

Tab is a whitespace character, isn't it?

It's almost a trivial patch; in the email/Generator.py file find the keyword argument continuation_ws='\t' to the Header initialization and change the '\t' to ' '.
Unfortunately, on my Debian system that is in the main Python library, and I will not mess with that (nor recommend that you do so). If you have one of the Mailman installations with a self-contained email package (ie, in .../mailman/Mailman/mailman), then it is probably safe to do that surgery. I believe you'll have to restart Mailman, but Python will pick up the change automagically.

You really need to patch the prefix_subject function in that module by changing

lines = str(subject).splitlines()
else:
lines = subject.splitlines()
