The problem is that Pine calculates the subject width as if a tab is one space wide, then paints the screen letting the terminal settings determine the actual tab width. This causes the subject line to overflow in the next message's display space, which obviously is not intended behavior. If the bug were any more annoying I'd have looked into it myself because it can't be that hard to fix or at least work around. Whichever way you slice it, it's a minor inconsistency in Pine.
