The issue almost certainly has to do with folding and unfolding of the Subject: header. The underlying issue goes back to an ambiguity in RFC822 over how this should be done. The end result is some mail agents add whitespace following the new-line when folding and some don't, and some remove whitespace following the new-line when unfolding and some don't. These inconsistencies produce an end result which may have more or less whitespace than the original. There isn't much that can be done as whatever Mailman and the underlying Python email library does, it will be 'right' for some mail clients and 'wrong' for others. > I have 2.1.12-17 Mailman version. >From what downstream package?
