You are correct, and I was wrong. After studying "the law" (RFC 2822, not 
RFC 822, which is obsoleted) I can conclude that pine seems to behave 
correctly. I though the standard was stated differently.

The problem sits on the construction of the email. TAB is normally not 
meaningful in subject fields. And do not add more than one white space 
after CRLF in field folding.
