But wait, there's more. Mailman's wrapping the line _after_ a 
whitespace character instead of before. If you look closely, you'll see 
there's a space dangling at the end of the first line of the subject. 
Adding the tab on the next line makes the resulting header valid, but 
does actually add a tab to the content of the subject.
