It happens on my list when I put a photo title in because of the length, I
assume.  I use semi-colons and no spaces but if I make it too long without a
break, the whole thing will go over past the spaces.  I presume it is meant
to make two lines for the subject and that happens but not evenly, i.e., not
where the break occurs.  Just live with it, I say.

Subject: [LSTOWN-L] Strange spaces in subject lines

I need some help in fixing the problem shown in the subject line below.

[Fwd: [NEWSROOM-L] Truthful Translations  of Political Speech
Or,              "What they  really meant when they said that."]

It usually occurs when the subect line contains more than 45-50
characters. My list is [log in to unmask] The problem
occurs, as far as I know, only with this mailing list. I don't see it
happening with any other lists to which I subscribe or own.

I am receiving the mail with Thunderbird 1.0 updated to the latest
build. I don't think it's only happening on my PC, as I also see it in
messages that originate from (or or replied to by) my subscribers.

The sysop at netspace.org says that he believes this is a bug in
listserv but he has no way of verifying it or correcting it.
