Message with that subject displays fine for me on the trunk - have you changed any of the charset settings?

I've had this problem since Thunderbird 5, but only with emails received from my autoresponder software.

The only thing I can think of is that there is an extra carriage return between the to: and subject: field in the email source.

This clearly breaks RFC822, where the separation between the headers of an email and the body is achieved thru a empty line. The extra CR is that blank line.

Indeed, and after the autoresponder vendor fixed their software the subject line began showing again. It's interesting though, how different parts of Thunderbird process the subject line differently. The message pane is more forgiving in this area than the message list.

Hello,
i have the same problem as Alex Kent with his screenshot: http://files.dragonrising.com/alex/screenshot2.jpg

but in other clients (like Outlook 2003 or Webmail) i have the missed subject line!

here a cut of the sourcecode:

Thank you for help

Can you attach a .eml file of the actual message? I'm curious if there's anything on the blank line after the To: line, e.g., a tab, or if it's completely blank.

Anatol, Hawran ?

Comment 13

[Anatol Gattig]

we have solved our problem with an new email server.

we switched vom KEN4 to Hmailserver, and the subject displays correct in Thunderbird at IMAP
