Bug fixes and other patches
+ - Subject prefixing has been improved to always have a space between
+ the prefix and the subject even with non-ascii in the prefix. This
+ will sometimes result in two spaces when the prefix is non-ascii but
+ the subject is ascii, but this is the lesser evil. (LP: #1525954)

- Treat message and digest headers and footers as empty if they contain
only whitespace. (LP: #1673307)
