I'm using SpamAssassin to tag spam and prefix the spam score to the subject line. To make the scores sort properly in the client's message list, I pad the score with spaces to right-align it.
It looks like dovecot-0.99.10.9-1.FC3.2 is frustrating this by stripping the excess spaces from the subject before reporting it in FETCH responses. Here's an actual subject line:
Subject: (SPAM? 6.9) Urgent Response !!
Note the multiple spaces before the "6.9". Here's the matching FETCH command and reply, as reported in Mulberry's IMAP.log (just the relevant message is shown here):
A00035 FETCH 1507:1524 (FLAGS RFC822.SIZE UID INTERNALDATE ENVELOPE BODYSTRUCTURE)
