Subject: List manager: space char "stealth" in subject line


THE PROBLEM:
As MS Outlook bases it's thread grouping of messages on the subject line only
 (AFAICS there isn't anything that uses the "References:" header)
the above leads to a split in FOUR "threads" -> hard to read in correct order.

QUESTION: Am I the only person seeing this?

Why ask it here, you wonder? I see NOTHING like it from any other source.

Example: Current subject lines from cygwin-apps;
"Re: [setup] Why does PackageSpecification haveaprivatecopy-constructor? (Robert?)"
"Re: [setup] Why does PackageSpecification have aprivatecopy-constructor? (Robert?)"
"Re: [setup] Why does PackageSpecification have aprivatecopy-constructor? (Robert?)"
"Re: [setup] Why does PackageSpecification have a privatecopy-constructor? (Robert?)"
"Re: [setup] Why does PackageSpecification have a privatecopy-constructor? (Robert?)"
"Re: [setup] Why does PackageSpecification have a privatecopy-constructor? (Robert?)"
"Re: [setup] Why does PackageSpecification have a private copy-constructor? (Robert?)"

Seems to be related to _LONG_ subject lines too.

(Using MS Outlook 2000 SP-3, 9.0.0.6627)
