Okay, throw out everything I said in the last message and try this out:

Look at any message in this thread except one that you may have composed
yourself and look at it using full headers. Do you see the spaces in the
"Subject: " line?

I do, and I use pine 4.21.

If everyone else sees them, I'm leaning towards every other mail client
hiding the spaces, Outlook Express just happens to show them. And I just
talked to the Help Desk again on a hunch, and found that those "direct,
non listerv" messages that had spaces were actually all replies or forwards
from messages that originally were sent through the listserv.
