359928 - long Subject: lines display with an embedded tab

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 271312

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Avi Kivity]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.5 (like Gecko)
Build Identifier: version 1.5.0.7 (20061027)

Sometimes a long subject line is sent with a continuation, thus:

    Subject: blah blah blah<newline>
    <tab>more blah blah blah

Thunderbird eats the newline but shows the tab:

    Subject: blah blah blah       more blah blah blah

Should be:

    Subject: blah blah blah more blah blah blah

as the tab was not added by the user but by the mail systems.

This occurs in the messages pane, the message preview pane, and in a single message window.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send a message with a very long line to yourself.  I don't know if thunderbird splits the header or an mta.
2. Look at the subject line.

Actual Results:  
Subject: blah blah blah       more blah blah blah

Expected Results:  
Subject: blah blah blah more blah blah blah
