The subject above is in fact perfectly legal according to rfc(2)822. 
The body begins only after the first \r\n\r\n (resp. \n\n) sequence. 
\r\n[ \t] must be considered as folding of the header, so that the 
unfolded subject line reads:
Re: K-ARTIST:Re: K start menu icon ideas \t

Is seems more like a bug in a MTA on the way, cc'ing postmaster@master 
in case they have more info and can probably fix it.
