Ah, found it in slightly more digestible form here:

I agree, it's useful to preserve the original structure, and subjects 
breaking across lines should be the exception. I could see doing white 
space collapsing for white space across a line break, but I don't see any 
value in doing it mid-line.

It would be great if this could be made a compile-time or config file 
setting.

Meanwhile, I'll post back to the Mulberry and SpamAssassin lists about the 
issue.
