Netscape mail server removes white-space at the start of the subject field and
they won't accept a bug report about it.
Postfix and Qmail correctly preserved all combinations of random ASCII data in
the subject as of my last tests with Postal/rabid.
Postal/rabid do MD5 checks on message body and selected header fields
(including Subject). Check how your mail server performs...
