** Description changed: 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).
