Today, in ThunderBird and Windows Mail,
I saw whitespace problems from Pan's encoded words, see Dan C's:

I can't guess how badly you've screwed up the configurations of your
clients or your OS, and since your description of your trouble is so
vague, there's little hope of helping you with it. You'd have to do a
lot better than "I saw whitespace problems" if such problems
actually existed.

Why am I not surprised that you never noticed it ?

Probably because you just made it up.

Because you don't check such things, like I do.

Keep checking. You're not going to be able to talk me into decoding
them manually to look for phantom "whitespace problems". You know
where the RFCs are -- check them yourself. Or just use Google Groups
since X.EXE can't handle them.

Frankly, when it comes to newsreaders,
there's not a soul here that I'd trust.

Some should be trusted and some not. You fall squarely in the latter
category.
