I think this is a bug in your email reader. In Icedove (which is fairly
similar), it displays fine. If I look at the message source, I see that
the Subject line is broken into two lines, with leading space in the
second line. I think this is technically allowed.

AFAICT, this always happened. For example, if you look at

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-checkins/2008-August.txt.gz

you'll see that the subject of 20080801191123.D7EE61E4012 at bag.python.org
is also broken into multiple lines.

Regards,
Martin
