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.
