Bug Description

If the mailing list message contains a subject longer than
72 charactes, the subject is splitted into two lines with a
tab characters. This behaviour looks strange on some
e-mail clients. If an attachement has spaces in its name
and the name of the attachment is longer than 72
characters, the attachment type (e.g. PDF) is lost and
the e-mail contains only an unnamed attachement.

Attached is a (sample) message containing such a
problem.

The correct name of the first attachment is:
"CTL Germany Info 0118 - COSMOS v2.3 - Planned
functions and delivery date.pdf".
