^M's in subjects

^M's in subjects

[Andy Eskilsson]

I don't know why, but some people here are sending subjects terminated
by ^M's (could be the microsoft -> unix mail gateway), and this shows
up funny in the *Summary* buffer, it looks like:

 E [  17: Lars Magne Inge] 2 Re: Gnus Unplugged syncing

      [  17: Wes Hardaker   ] 1 
      [  17: Wes Hardaker   ] 1 

(Just an example, it is not Lars' mails that looks like this) Notice
the empty line after Lars' mail.. Is this somehing Gnus can do about,
or should I kick my sysadms..

Huh.  \r's should be displayed as ?, not, well, anything else.  Unless
you've fiddled with `gnus-summary-set-display-table'.

Uhm, no, \r is passed through, so it should be displayed as, uh, ^M, I
guess.
