We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all
reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago
and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Thunderbird since that
time.
Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported using
currently supported versions of Thunderbird and Ubuntu? Please let us
know if you do and in which version of Ubuntu otherwise this report can
be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.
Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.

Title:
Mozilla Thunderbird Presents Gap in Subject - Thunderbird does not
compact /t into a space
Status in dovecot package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: thunderbird
Mozilla Thunderbird Presents Gap in Subject. Thunderbird does not
compact /t into a space.
This has always been an issue but recently I have compared the gap in
email subject lines on one of my imap servers (Postfix -> Dovecot ->
Thunderbird) to the lack of gap in email subject lines on
imap.gmail.com, and I think there is something wrong with the mail
server which adds spaces after a certain number of words/chars...
When I contacted my system administrator with this concerned his response was
the following:
==
This is not a bug in the IMAP server. It's possibly a bug in Thunderbird.
Taking a random email from your screenshot, the original header looks like this
on disk.
| Subject: [Bug 179042] Re: Videos tear and "blink" when enabling
compiz [AMD Feature #7647] [EPR#257833]
(Which is 'AMD\n\tFeature')
Other MUAs (including at least Mutt and Gnus) compact the \t down to a single
space. I don't know RFC 2821 well enough to know off the top of my head if
Thunderbird's behaviour is unequivocally a bug, but it's certainly unintuitive
and I'd recommend you file a bug against it in Ubuntu.
==
The server which gives me this problem runs dovecot-imapd
1:1.0.10-1ubuntu5.2 on Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Herron). My client is
Thunderbird on 9.10 (details below) but this issue has been happening
since ~2007 (that's when I noticed it) as far as I remember.
