I was just looking at a bunch of stock market spams last night. One of the
most notable characteristics of them was that the subjects all had TWO spaces
between the colon and first letter. Most normal mail only has a single space.
Sorting them in OE caused the stock market spams to sort to the front, because
space is less than other letters.
If I want to using Outlook or OE I can create subjects with any number of
leading spaces, and that will be maintained in the mail, and will show
"correctly" to the recipient. Now, what a 'real' mail program will do with
subjects like that, I haven't a clue.
I think a lot of mail/news programs assume that the subject body starts
immediately after "Subject: ", unless the character immediately after the colon
isn't a space, in which case the subject starts there.
