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:
That's odd. ^H is usually a backspace. Tab is ^I.
line1>[tokenizer and token_iterator] request for policy or line2> redesign
I see a newline followed by a tab. Is that legal in a RFC422 message header?
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 for the explanation. Maybe Thorsten's mailer is at fault for inserting the newline? -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
