Carl's reply notwithstanding, Barry considers this "something we should do something about". It's almost a trivial patch; in the email/Generator.py file find the keyword argument continuation_ws='\t' to the Header initialization and change the '\t' to ' '. Unfortunately, on my Debian system that is in the main Python library, and I will not mess with that (nor recommend that you do so). If you have one of the Mailman installations with a self-contained email package (ie, in .../mailman/Mailman/mailman), then it is probably safe to do that surgery. I believe you'll have to restart Mailman, but Python will pick up the change automagically. > > > ----- Original Message ----- > Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman Splitting Subject > Date: Thu, 24 May 2007 14:21:53 -0700 (PDT) > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Carl Zwanzig) > > In a flurry of recycled electrons, Lloyd F.
