Summary: email/Generator.py: Incorrect header output

Initial Comment:
I've found a small bug when using the email/Parser.py
classes. When there is a long "Subject" header, it will
be wrapped to multiple lines, which are preceded by a
tab. This is undesired behaviour, because e-mail
clients show this tab in the subject. Especially,
Mozilla for Windows shows a strange square symbol. The
following code in email/Generator.py (line 180)
resolves the problem:

            else:
                # Header's got lots of smarts, so use it.
                if h.lower() == 'subject':
                    cont_ws = ' ' 
                else:
                    cont_ws = '\t'
                print >> self._fp, Header(
                    v, maxlinelen=self.__maxheaderlen,
                    header_name=h,
continuation_ws=cont_ws).encode()
