I don't think there is a standard length for subject lines. (Some people
will claim 70 chars or so, but that's a different issue.)

It seems both you and Mark use Thunderbird on Windows, and it seems it
replaced a space with a tab in the subject line (first one, then a
second one):

Mark: "Re: [PIC] Making a very simple optical guitar tuner - have some=09
questions"

Yigit's answer got rid of the tab: "Re: [PIC] Making a very simple
optical guitar tuner - have some questions"

Your answer added it back in: "Re: [PIC] Making a very simple optical
guitar tuner - have some	questions"

And your answer to yourself added a second one in: "Re: [OT] Making a
very simple optical guitar tuner - have	some	questions"

Looks to me like a bug in Thunderbird. I can't think of a good reason to
replace a space with a tab in a subject line, even if it is a long one.
