I'm on at least one mailing list in which some software somewhere
seems to be inserting ^Ms (literal control-M characters) in the
middle of subject lines.  I guess that the mailing list's remailer
has decided that the subject line is too long, and so it tries to
break the line up into multiple lines.

That behavior seems to be kind of braindead to begin with.

But what's interesting is how Gnus handles these Subject lines.
These ^Ms cause Gnus (Pterodactyl Gnus v0.40) to create a
funny-looking *Summary* buffer.  Gnus seems to convert each ^M
character into a newline character, and each *Summary* line ends up
displaying as multiple lines.

Is Gnus intentionally displaying these Subject lines as multiple
lines in the *Summary* buffer, or is this just an accident.

Michael.
