I've been getting this on my list from time to time when LISTSERV tries to
impose a hanging indent on the Subject line, a practice which is as
outdated as 80-column monospaced text and unncessarily trips spam
detectors like the one above.

> Subject: text text text text text text text text text
>          text text text

which looks like this to some spam detectors when superfluous whitespace
characters are made visible as "_":

"text text text text text text text text text ____________text text text"

Is the feature that inserts spaces into the Subject line likely to be
removed in the future?
