kai has switched to latin-9 encoding of his name, and your version of gnus
probably cannot (quite) handle that.

Hmmmm.

NT XEmacs 21.4.7 + Gnus 5.8.8

In this version, both your name and Kai's name has the ISO marker when
viewed in the "From" header, but everything looks fine in the body of
the message.  I still don't see more than one space, though...

Then it looks like it's MULE related. Hmm, still I wonder, why only
the space is doubled; not an extra blank after every character, eg.

In Emacs-20.7, which I still normally prefer, I have this in my
dot-emacs-20.el:

  (define-coding-system-alias 'latin-9 'latin-1)
  (define-coding-system-alias 'iso-8859-15 'latin-1)

and everything looks okay (I never need euros).  Occasionally (like
now) I try

GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (sparc-sun-solaris2.8, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)

there I did not define the aliasing and there are some problems, among
others, there are three (not two!) spaces in the the Kai's name as
presented in the Summary buffer.  And of course, bbdb starts fussing.

Well I use no-MULE XEmacs and I see two spaces between 
Kai's first and last name.

Thanks, this solved my 'blank rectangles' problems in Rémi's and
Kai's names.

Re: Kai's name in summary buffer

[Stein A Stromme]

[Kai Großjohann]

| ....  (Maybe some of my postings have Latin-1 bodies but
| Latin-9 headers?  Also try C-u g on a posting to investigate.)

The header looks like this for me (gnus 5.9.0, cvs emacs 21.3.50)

From: Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE (Kai
 =?iso-8859-15?q?Gro=DFjohann?=)

In the summary buffer there are two spaces between Kai and Gro, this
seems to be consistent with the unfortunate linebreak (note the
leading space on the second line, why is that there?).

It must be treated as \s+.  Only the line break is removed.

If I select gnu.emacs.gnus group with '9 RET' I get this:

O  [  13: Kai   Großjohann    ] Re: bbdb and searching

If '8 RET' and 'P' I get this one:

R  [  13: Kai Großjohann      ] Re: bbdb and searching
