Sounds like the issue is to configure Mailman to leave spaces as spaces,
and tabs as tabs, if possible. There may be a standard as to whether the
headers should have spaces, or tabs, but I would expect that conformance
by the mail readers would be more in the breach than being correct,
especially in the light of Outhouse (outlook).
