Rule match by Subject: ?

[Julian Field]

    [ The following text is in the "ISO-8859-1" character set. ]
    [ Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set.  ]
    [ Some characters may be displayed incorrectly. ]

How about
space ==> \space
tab ==> \tab
\n ==> \n
\ ==> \\

So you basically have to escape spaces and tabs.
