It's kind of fixed. See below.
vnix$ lsb_release -dr
Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10
vnix$ apt-cache policy thunderbird
thunderbird:
Installed: 2.0.0.18+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.10.1

I sent myself the following test message.
vnix$ /usr/bin/sendmail -oi -t <<HERE
> From: era
> To: era
> Subject: Thunderbird
> tab test (LP#40759)
>
> I'm in ur mailz, messing ur MIMEz
> HERE
Both the list of message subjects and the actual message show a literal
tab (a substantial amount of whitespace) between "Thunderbird" and "tab
test". This is not quite the behavior I would have wished for (the
consensus in the upstream bug seems to be that the tab should be
converted to a regular space character, ASCII 32, and I would tend to
agree) but the ugly block character is gone.
