[Pkg-mailman-hackers] Bug#511523: mailman: subject_prefix with non-ascii characters and trailing space does not work

[Ansgar Burchardt]

Package: mailman
Version: 1:2.1.11-7
Severity: normal

Hi,

If subject_prefix is set to a value with non-ascii characters and a
trailing space, the space gets lost somewhere.

For example: When subject_prefix is set to "[MÜSLI] ", all messages will
only have "[MÜSLI]" (w/o space) prepended to their subject.

Regards,
Ansgar
