broken subject lines in index

[clloydknight@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi all,

I often receive mail with long subject lines and the display of these
in the index seems slightly broken, even though my terminal window is
plenty wide enough to display the full line. Here's an example subject
line, cut-and-pasted from the index display:

Escalation of privileges in Outpost and Lavasoft Firewalls -Unusu al 
ShellExecute behavior

Note the additional space in the word "Unusual".

Here is the actual subject line from the header of the mail:

...
To: bugtraq@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Subject: Escalation of privileges in Outpost and Lavasoft Firewalls -Unusu
        al ShellExecute behavior
Date: Sun, 16 Jul 2006 09:23:16 -0400
...

It looks like something wrapped the header because it was too long. In
reassembling it, mutt inserted an extra space.

This wrapping of long header lines appears to be fairly consistent in
email i receive, especially in Received: lines, so it would appear this is
"standard behaviour" for MTAs. I would have to guess, then, that the
problem is with mutt. The question is, is it a configuration problem
or a bug? And has anyone else noticed this behaviour?

Thanks,
-Smoke.
