You need to add "In-Reply-To:" as well.  And stop doing whatever it is
you're doing that puts NUL bytes in your "*     From:" lines.  Or simply
drop those lines altogether.

We may be seeing different symptoms as a result of *whatever* Peter is
doing, depending on how each individual mail transport agent and each
mail user agent deals with the incoming mess.

The file I had in my ~/Maildir/new/ directory definitely had NUL bytes
in it (it's gone now -- I don't save these mails).  I suppose it's
conceivable that someone else's MTA may translate the NULs to TABs, or
that someone's MUA may display the NULs as TABs.  Or that *my* MTA is
translating something else into NUL bytes.

Who knows?  All I can say for sure is: Peter, whatever you're doing,
please fix it.

Indeed.

I looked up his MUA (Oberon, based on the X-Mailer header).  There seems
to be exactly one web site mentioning it.  Definitely minority MUA.

Given what you and others are saying regarding non-RFC compliant headers,
added manually, no less, it seems like this MUA should be avoided until
improvements are made.

I /think/ they're tab characters.  At least, that seems to be the case
from a quick glance at the message source:  A 5 character (or so) space
was 'jumped' when my cursor encountered those chars.
