This is behavior is seen in Pine, though the way LISTSERV handles it is
not in spec. The rfc2369 header information refers to RFC1738 -- which
requires the space character to be encoded as "%20" in the URL.
From RFC2369 (2):
The list header fields are subject to the encoding and character
restrictions for mail headers as described in [RFC822]. Additionally, the
URL content is further restricted to the set of URL safe characters
[RFC1738].
from RFC1738 (2.2):
The space character is unsafe because significant spaces may disappear and
insignificant spaces may be introduced when URLs are transcribed or
typeset or subjected to the treatment of word-processing programs.
All unsafe characters must always be encoded within a URL.
When the header is corrected to have the space encoded as "%20" Pine
handles it fine.
