Mozilla Thunderbird Presents Gap in Subject - Thunderbird does not

Bug description:
Binary package hint: thunderbird
Mozilla Thunderbird Presents Gap in Subject. Thunderbird does not
compact /t into a space.
This has always been an issue but recently I have compared the gap in
email subject lines on one of my imap servers (Postfix -> Dovecot ->
Thunderbird) to the lack of gap in email subject lines on
imap.gmail.com, and I think there is something wrong with the mail
server which adds spaces after a certain number of words/chars...
When I contacted my system administrator with this concerned his response was
the following:
==
This is not a bug in the IMAP server. It's possibly a bug in Thunderbird.
Taking a random email from your screenshot, the original header looks like this
on disk.
| Subject: [Bug 179042] Re: Videos tear and "blink" when enabling
compiz [AMD Feature #7647] [EPR#257833]
(Which is 'AMD\n\tFeature')
Other MUAs (including at least Mutt and Gnus) compact the \t down to a single
space. I don't know RFC 2821 well enough to know off the top of my head if
Thunderbird's behaviour is unequivocally a bug, but it's certainly unintuitive
and I'd recommend you file a bug against it in Ubuntu.
==
The server which gives me this problem runs dovecot-imapd
1:1.0.10-1ubuntu5.2 on Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Herron). My client is
Thunderbird on 9.10 (details below) but this issue has been happening
since ~2007 (that's when I noticed it) as far as I remember.
