I managed to trace why MH puts a space at the end of the Subject in replies. mh repl uses a copy of the subject with the newline character at the end. when mh executes a format template, it smushes out nonprintables, replacing any sequence of them with a single space. newline is a nonprintable. so all repls will have a space at the end of the subject. this is mh behavior that looks like it may have been around forever. I'm in favor of having gnus compensate for it. oddly, mh scan doesn't have this extra-space problem, because scan uses a copy of the subject with trailing space removed. --
