mail with invalid subject triggering bug

I discovered something odd: A mail I got that had an obviously invalid subject
containing multiple encodings and a probably invalid utf-8 character
(quoted-printable encoded) was displayed as a multiline subject in the message
list.

This obviously distorts the view, because a multiline subject will spread over
other messages in the list. I have attached a sample message and a screenshot
of the phenomen.

This is an example subject line causing this:
Subject: =?utf-8?Q?YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY=E2=80=A8?=
 =?utf-8?Q?YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY=E2=80=A8?= =?utf-8?Q?YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY=E2=80=A8?=

Not sure why this happens, but it seems obvious that claws-mail should not try
to render multiple lines in the subject of the message list.
