Ah, found it in slightly more digestible form here:

I still don't think it's necessarily such a good idea, but I'd rather not break it on purpose. You could anyway fix it by changing sources:
Bottom of lib-imap/imap-quote.c :
imap_quote_append(str, value, value_len, TRUE);
change TRUE to FALSE.
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.
