[Vladimir Volovich <vvv@vvv.vsu.ru>]

Hi,

when sending a message with this subject, gnus encodes non-ascii text
as encoded-word, and as a result, the space between a cyrillic word
(koi8-r) and a latin-1 word is lost. This rule was already discussed
in this list (in a different thread):

RFC 2047 says:

RFC-2047> When displaying a particular header field that contains
RFC-2047> multiple 'encoded-word's, any 'linear-white-space' that
RFC-2047> separates a pair of adjacent 'encoded-word's is ignored.
RFC-2047> (This is to allow the use of multiple 'encoded-word's to
RFC-2047> represent long strings of unencoded text, without having to
RFC-2047> separate 'encoded-word's where spaces occur in the unencoded
RFC-2047> text.)

The subject contained a cyrillic word and a latin-1 word separated by
a real space. Gnus encoded both words as encoded-word, but not encoded
a space between them. As a result, this space is ignored when
displaying the subject.

Best regards, Vladimir.
