your mailer is squeezing spaces out of subject lines again, it looks like.
I am using Outlook Express News Reader now. Do you know any options
manage that?
No, but I used the same newsreader for years and never experienced this problem. I suggest Cc'ing yourself on your next postings to see if it's happening at your end or elsewhere. I also suggest making sure you post in plain text and not HTML (in case that's what you're doing).
I've tried to reproduce the problem on gmane.test, but I do not get the "squeezed" subject text using OutlookExpress. I tried both plain and

It's not just Gennadiy, but also Thorsten and some others on the list as well. The subject of the root of this thread had a carriage return
and/or
linefeed and tab as white space.
Could you explain what you mean in more detail?
Thorsten's original subject for this thread: "[tokenizer and token_iterator] request for policy or redesign" Is actually boken into two lines, the second prepended with a '^H' tab character, as in: line1>[tokenizer and token_iterator] request for policy or line2> redesign When viewing the original message source via the OutlookExpress(OE) File >> Properties >> Details >> Message Source. Any replies created using OE for a message with a subject containing '^H' follow this pattern: line1>[tokenizer and token_iterator] request for policy or line2> redesign reply: line1>[tokenizer and token_iterator] request for policy line2> orredesign reply: line1>[tokenizer and token_iterator] request for line2> policyorredesign ...
I tried cutting/pasting in a tab into OE, but it is received as text.
Can you explain that one too?
I meant to say that the tab was replaced by equivalent spaces rather than the explict '^H' tab character. I created text in an editor " test^Htest ", and pasted it into the subject line in OutlookExpress(OE), to see if this might be the cause of the problem. Thanks, Jeff F
