Extra space in subject line - plugin auto update

Description

Keep receiving email in this manner:

ASCII based/quotedp

Subject: =?us-ascii?Q?[LONGER-SITENAME]_Some_plugins_were_automat?=  =?us-ascii?Q?ically_updated?=

Result (in Thunderbird):

[LONGER-SITENAME] Some plugins were automat ically updated

--

UTF Based/quotedp

Subject: =?UTF-8?Q?[SHORTER-SITENAME]_Some_plugins_were_auto?=  =?UTF-8?Q?matically_updated?=

Result:

[SITENAME] Some plugins were auto matically updated



So, the result in both cases (regardless of UTF, or ASCII encoding) is to add a space that shouldn't be there.

I will try disabling plugins if this isn't reproducible - but the sites only use phpmailer afaik - no smtp plugins, or the like.

Note:
This subject line DOES decode/show properly w/o the space when using an online decoder or Outlook.

Though, I'm not sure why it has a break in encoding in middle of the word 'automatically'.
Still seems like an issue?

So far, only Thunderbird and the "Webmail" we use show the extra space.

Are you using PHP 8.0, or Windows by any chance? There were some changes in PHPMailer with header line-end handling, that I remotely associate might be the cause.

Thanks, but nope -
