If they are 80+ characters, then one thing that is clear is that this was
not done by LISTSERV. The present version of the VM mailer only supports
lines of 80 characters or less, so LISTSERV has to fold headers before
passing them on to the mailer. It couldn't make a line longer than 80 if
it wanted. What happens, probably, is that something on the way reformats
the header.

There are 13 blanks between the comma and the 's'. LISTSERV would
normally format this line as follows (text in column 15):
Reply-To: "Quaker Concerns, peace issues, consensus process,
spirituality" <blah>
This means 14 blanks between the 's' on the second line, one of which has
a syntactical meaning (continuation). If you 'unfold' that header, you
get the 13 blanks.
