That is indeed weird. It isn't the mechanism I'm talking about then, or
at least not a properly working implementation of it.

And I should have been clearer about that: the newline+tab combination
is visible in the "raw" (physical) message, but once a User Agent shows
it to you, the lines should be combined again to a single logical header
line with a space instead of the newline+tab.

I see no tabs in this one. Looking at previous ones as far as I still
have them, I see (in order) (if I make the tabs explicit with »·······)

You can see that the newline+tab is there, but something isn't removing
the tab on "the way in", and re-splitting a bit earlier "on the way
out". Or that's what it looks like to me.

There are 2 different origins (going by the Message-ID lines (Shouldn't
that be Message-Id, really?)) but one is Pan directly and the other
could well be Pan via gmane. So it could be Pan's fault.
