I've, unfortunately, seen totally botched subjects, including a case where 
a single Unicode codepoint which gets encoded into two bytes in UTF-8 was 
separted into two encoded-words bby the sender's RFC2047 generator. Based 
on this experience and on a quick consultation with an oracle (the 
grapefruit-flavored Salzburger Stiegel was particularly helpful), I think 
that it's going to be much more common to see tabs as an accident.

Otherwise, consider the question of there to draw a line. Should we support 
line breaks for the same reason, for example? What about Unicode characters 
for drawing boxes?

We're using a simple QLabel. It will likely never come with a full-blown 
HTML renderer. The supported subset of HTML is documented somewhere in Qt's 
docs, but it seems that it is actualy richer than what is documented.
