Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Tabs in long subjects (a really really really long subject line,
Something in the transmission path for mails to wireshark-dev (I assume
it's the wireshark.org Mailman, but who knows) seems to be wrapping
Subject: lines incorrectly. Essentially it replaces a space in the
subject with a CRLF followed by a tab.
According to RFC822 (3.1.1) "Unfolding is accomplished by regarding CRLF
immediately followed by a LWSP-char as equivalent to the LWSP-char" -
ie, [CR][LF][HT] is equivalent to [HT].
This makes Thunderbird display a little binary '0009' symbol rather than
the intended space. It's more annoying than anything else, but could
something be done about it?
