Question 1: Is this correct behaviour of a standards-compliant mailer?
The subject field is unstructured, which means that it contains
nonwhitespace and folding whitespace. By my reading of 2822, a MUA
should therefore treat all sequences of white space as equivalent to a
single ASCII 32.
Question 2: If the answer to question 1 is "yes", then is there
something wrong with the standards? Should the next edition of MIME
include something for headers similar to "=" at the end of the line
in Quoted-Printable lines to indicate soft linebreaks?
A standard that is widely either misunderstood or incorrectly
implemented certainly has a problem. IMHO, in this case a textual
clarification is the best way to deal with it.
