Comment:
I updated that patch and added a test to regressionstest/mail to show the
problem.
The message method of EmailMessage creates an instance of SafeMIMEText
which overrides the default __setitem__ of MIMEText to always invoke
forbid_multi_line_headers on header assignment. So, at line 244 (247
patched), the assignment of the subject will cause
forbid_multi_line_headers() to be called and the patch will ensure that an
ascii subject header is returned as an instance of the Header class
instead of a unicode string. This, in turn, ensures that a space, not a
tab, is used as the continuation character if the subject line is long and
has to be folded over several lines (this is what the added test checks
for).
Prefering a space over a tab means that Outlook and Thunderbird will show
a long email subject correctly.
