#2995: Mutt is folding subject line folds using a tab, which appears to be
against
RFC 2822
Changes (by brendan):
* priority: major => minor
Comment:
That subroutine is horrifying, but I believe the line in question is near
the bottom of mutt_write_one_header:
{{{
cp = &cp[n];
}}
This advances the parser to the character _after_ the whitespace break
character, after flushing the first line. So the logic at the top of the
loop to pad only when necessary is never triggered.
I get the willies every time I think about editing this function though.
To make matters worse, I think it's shared between the display code and
the sending code. It would be good to tab-indent on the display side when
the header wraps past the window, and to simply insert CRs on the sending
side.
