Bug Description

I recently reported bug #305047 by email to <email address hidden>, with the subject
  [patch] linux-restricted-modules doesn’t build on Jaunty
(note the Unicode apostrophe). My email client correctly encoded the subject according to RFC 2047:
  Subject: [patch] linux-restricted-modules =?UTF-8?Q?doesn=E2=80=99t?= build
   on Jaunty
However, this was incorrectly parsed by Malone as
  [patch] linux-restricted-modulesdoesn’tbuild on Jaunty
which is missing some spaces. (I then manually corrected the bug title; see the bug activity log.)
