Summary: Whitespace in pick expressions

Initial Comment:
Is it possible to specify a pick expression containing
whitespace, eg, in mh-narrow-to-subject:

Highlight a message with whitespace in the subject
(Subject: foo bar baz)

/ s

narrows to all messages with identical subject, however,

C-u / s RET

("Pick expression: -subject foo bar baz" appears in
minibuffer, leave unchanged and press RET)

Gives an error.

I put a shell wrapper around /usr/bin/mh/pick, and the
latter call to pick is calling it as: pick ...
"-subject" "foo" "bar" "baz", where pick expects a
single argument to -subject.

Output from mh-version:

MH-E 7.82
