Comment(by Derek Martin):
{{{
Folks,
I think this isn't quite fixed. I downloaded the latest snapshot of
Mutt with the fix, and I was testing it at work (we have a mailman
version with a similar bug, and between the two it is driving people
insane). There appears to be two problems with the fix:
1. In the index view, if the subject line of a message contains a tab,
mutt displays this as if there is no whitespace between the two
words which the tab separates, e.g.:
really really long subject<tab>line
is displayed as
really really long subjectline
2. When the user replies to such a message, it is folded properly
(by inserting a \n before white space), and the message is sent
properly as well. However in the attachment view, the subject line
is bizarrely displayed with tabs. I think it may be the case that
these tabs were intended to be added when the message was being
edited, not in the attachment screen.
If you want new/separate bugs for these, let me know.
