The problem is that spaces keep disappearing from the subject:

|Subject: Re: Captain Jake's Top Ten List of what I'd like to see in the nextversionof Delphi
|Subject: Re: Captain Jake's Top Ten List of what I'd like to see inthenextversionof Delphi
|Subject: Re: Captain Jake's Top Ten List of what I'd like to see in thenextversionofDelphi

It's not a problem in Jake's newsreader at all, actually: it appears to
be a problem in Thunderbird 1.5.0.4 - it wraps the "Subject:" line in
the header.

Oh, THAT'S where that is coming from. I was wondering about that myself,
thinking that maybe my routine to convert the subject to properly show quotable
special characters had messed up.

I'm not sure who's problem it is now. It appears to be an interference
effect between Mozilla, JSNewsreader and Forte Agent. Mozilla and
JSNewsreader wrap the subject line, but not all clients unwrap it
correctly.

It might be to do with line-break for subject being #10#32 versus
#13#10#32 - eating two characters instead of one?

My message hs49a2plq91bkl6qe9i94j97j8q154au71@xxxxxxx had title:

|Subject: Re: Captain Jake's Top Ten List of what I'd like to see in thenextversionof Delphi

Your reply 44a496a5$1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx has title:

|Subject: Re: Captain Jake's Top Ten List of what I'd like to see in
| thenextversionof Delphi

Your reply shows up in a thread in Agent with the thread subject as:

|Re: Captain Jake's Top Ten List of what I'd like to see inthenextversionof Delphi

But the subject line isn't actually modified internally, so when I reply
(i.e. this message here), I still get the correct subject:

|Re: Captain Jake's Top Ten List of what I'd like to see in thenextversionof Delphi

I don't know. Let's just use shorter subject lines in future :)
